I'm recruiting for a PhD student to take up a WRoCAH funded Collaborative Doctoral Award, co-supervised by me and my colleague Stephen Holland at York (UK), and our project Partner AIMS (Association for Improvements in the Maternity Services)
Project Title: Consent Under Non-Ideal Circumstances
Project Summary: The project will investigate what makes consent important, what morally valid consent consists in, and the importance of how consent is communicated. It will do so with a view to understanding how consent can be supported and respected in non-ideal circumstances. These include unjust social structures which affect individuals’ decision-making, and/or experiential elements which make the conditions of giving and communicating consent challenging. A chief aim is to inform better practices for respecting consent in non-ideal circumstances, including where these arise during pregnancy, labour and birth.
Supervisors: Dr Hannah Carnegy-Arbuthnott, Prof. Stephen Holland, Dr Nadia Higson (AIMS)
Application deadline: 12 noon, 5th March 2025
