Join us we host Katrina Marson (she/her), criminal lawyer, author & researcher, to discuss the power of sex and consent education.

Katrina Marson was a criminal lawyer for a decade, specialising in sexual offences. She led the ACT’s implementation of the Child Sexual Abuse Royal Commission’s criminal justice recommendations.

She researched the implementation of relationships and sexuality education overseas on a 2019 Churchill Fellowship (report titled Ignorance is not Innocence). She has been appointed to the government’s National Respectful Relationships Education Expert Working Group.

Katrina is currently completing her PhD in sex-education. She delivered a TEDx Talk on why consent education isn’t enough in late 2022, shortly after her first book, Legitimate Sexpectations: the power of sex-ed, was published.

Maddy and Katrina together will explore the impact of comprehensive sex and consent education on sexual experiences of young people, free from violence.
