A conversation with Dr. Sen Raj (Manchester) about his new book on the role of emotion in political & legal contestations about LGBT+ rights. Drawing from critical socio-legal theory, the book develops the concept of “emotional grammar” to examine how emotions guide efforts to reform anti-discrimination & gender recognition laws, bans on “conversion therapy,” and sex education in the US, UK, and Australia.
