    Professor Sacha Coupet's book *Children, Sexuality, and the Law* addresses some of the unique challenges that accompany children in the broader context of sex, exploring from diverse perspectives the ways in which children emerge in sexually related dimensions of law and contemporary life. The book explores a broad range of issues, from the psychology of children as sexual beings to the legal treatment of adolescent consent. The book also explores whether and when children have a right to expression as understood within the First Amendment.

    In her lecture, Professor Coupet will discuss her chapter, *Policing Gender on the Playground: Interests, Needs, and Rights of Transgender and Gender non-conforming Youth* as well as the chapters that address the treatment of juvenile sex offenders and adolescent's capacity to consent.

    The lecture will be followed by a reception.
