Unwanted intimate examinations treated as essential in the name of protection of fairness in sports, accepting that as a justification for gross violations. I recently wrote a blog on this with @jonathanherring.bsky.social and @camillapickles.bsky.social www.transformingsociety.co.uk/2024/11/18/u...

Life and Death in Private Law Private law regulates life; this is self-evident, but how does it regulate death? This edited collection explores this question. Life and death are the beginnin…

Unwanted intimate examinations, patriarchy and power over marginalised bodies - Transforming Society Marthe Goudsmit Samaritter, Jonathan Herring and Camilla Pickles highlight how intimate examinations transcend maternity care, exposing power imbalances and violations against marginalised bodies.

New blog with @jonathanherring.bsky.social and @camillapickles.bsky.social: unwanted intimate examinations often go unchallenged, framed as 'necessary'.
