Diverse Voices in Tort Law cover

This captivating book explores uncharted territory in tort law, shedding light on underexplored viewpoints in the field.

The collection brings issues of social class, race, gender, marginalisation, vulnerability and harm into conversation with core tort law topics to encourage a more critical examination of the law and its impact on different groups of people.

Written by experts in the main areas of tort law from negligence to defamation and personal torts, chapters will:

• deepen students’ understanding of the central concepts and practices of tort law;

• uncover the power imbalances and privileges that underpin tort law decisions and their impact on lived experiences;

• amplify under-represented voices by signposting to the work and ideas of scholars that are less visible in the field.

Integrating marginalised perspectives into the curriculum and discourse, this indispensable textbook paves the way for a more inclusive and comprehensive understanding of tort law.

Chapter 9 available open access digitally under CC-BY licence.

“Bringing diverse voices and traditionally marginalised viewpoints to bear upon mainstream tort issues, this is a genuinely unique collection of essays which both advances our understanding of tort law as a mechanism of civil redress and generates new insights into the relation between law, power and disadvantage.” Joanne Conaghan, University of Bristol
