This is a one-day interdisciplinary conference which aims to explore the debates that led to the reform of age of consent laws around the British Empire during the years 1880 to 1930. The conference is particularly interested in exploring the issues of age of consent and child marriage through interdisciplinary and comparative perspectives in law and history.

The conference will be held at SOAS University of London; more information on the conference can be found here.

The conference will be followed by a drinks reception. Full programme will be published soon.
