The first volume in the Lucy Cavendish College Lecture Series, Coercion and Trust, provides a unique, multi-disciplinary dialogue on the complex links between coercion and trust from perspectives in the social sciences, medicine, and literature, combining high-quality academic research with professional recommendations.
Part I analyses adolescent-adult relationships in youth fiction alongside research on the sexual coercion of women, and the link between animal and domestic violence. Part II investigates blind trust and coercion in social media grooming, challenges, and solutions to coercion by misinformation. Part III investigates coercion and trust in migration-detention-deportation, kidnapping in violent political campaigns, and sentencing in rehabilitation.
The book makes a significant, original contribution to multi-disciplinary research, professional practice, and advanced development, with theoretical and empirical chapters linking theory, practice, and training. This book will be of interest to academic researchers, professional practitioners, and postgraduate students in research and training in multiple fields across the social sciences, humanities, and medicine, for whom there is no comparable book available worldwide.
"This is not only an original, lively, and convincing engagement, through relevant disciplines, with a subject that is increasingly recognised as of profound importance. It also succeeds in going deep into particular cases without losing overall perspective, thanks to superb editing that draws out the interrelations and implications of the fine individual chapters. But perhaps most distinctive is the exciting sense of intensive and adventurous thinking among an intergenerational group of women academics: this is collegiality at its best."
Prof David F. Ford, University of Cambridge, UK
"Coercion and Trust is an extraordinary book that examines intricate issues through a rich, multidisciplinary approach. This insightful volume addresses the nuanced relationships between coercion, power and trust, making it a must-read for those in development studies, psychology, sociology, education, and beyond. Its diverse perspectives and thorough analysis make it a valuable resource for academics and professionals alike, providing deep understanding and sparking meaningful dialogue across disciplines."
Dr Flavio Comim, Dean of IQS School of Management, Spain
"A novel compilation on the relationship between coercion and trust. Individual chapters range from those on intimate relations, to the channels along which information regarding trust is disseminated, and in the implications for governance mechanisms at the societal level."
