Summary
While love and desire are often treated as personal and private matters, they are also sites of conflict, negotiation, and power. Conflicts over consent, domestic violence, LGBTQ+ rights and others reveal the urgent need to better understand how love and desire are communicated. The conference aims to illuminate how better communication about love and desire can help address real-world challenges.
