Trigger/content warning: sexual violence. This event is not suitable for children.
Sexual violence – the majority of which is committed by men – can be a barometer for society’s public and private pressures and structural inequalities. This includes the pressure to be identified as ‘real men’, a signifier earned through hard physical labour, fighting and ‘pay-packet masculinity’ in Scotland.
Taking a whole-nation qualitative and quantitative approach, this lecture by Dr Louise Heren FSAScot explores incest and rape cases prosecuted between 1918-1930 to explore inequality, and attempts to answer the principal questions: who assaulted whom, where, how and why?
This hybrid event by the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland is free and open to everyone. The lecture will be followed by a free drinks reception from approximately 7pm which all attendees are invited to join.
