Funded Activity Summary

The Colour of Sexual Slander. This project aims to investigate the history of sexual slander in the 19th century and its relationship to ideas of race and gender. Working within legal and historical frameworks, it seeks to examine, for the first time, court files and legislative records across the USA, UK and Australia, to understand diverse women’s attempts to redress sexual insults and reputational attacks, and drive law reform. Expected outcomes include international collaborations and path-breaking works of interdisciplinary history. Significant benefits are expected, including shaping policy and legal strategies in the present to combat the ongoing problem of sexual abuse and harassment, leading to improvements in women’s personal safety and economic wellbeing.
