My research topic will be about the grey-area of politics of consent. Every person has a distinct idea of what constitutes consent. As a result, there are several instances that remain unclear and fall into the category of “grey areas”. In my research article, I’ll discuss ways to reduce the grey areas so that everyone’s definition of “consent” is consistent and effective.
