Macey Allison

Macey Allison is a PhD Candidate and casual tutor in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Melbourne, working on unceded Wurundjeri land. She holds affiliations within the School of Historical and Philosophical Studies and contributes to teaching as a part-time lecturer.

Her research focuses on the intersection of juridical theories of sexual consent (particularly affirmative consent frameworks in Australian jurisdictions) with feminist phenomenological accounts of embodiment and desire. Central to her work is analyzing how consent is experientially 'lived' in the body and its alignment with criminal law objectives.

Research interests include Philosophy of Law, Feminist Theory, and Phenomenology, with prior professional experience as a lawyer informing her interdisciplinary approach.

Her PhD thesis, A Non-Ideal Theory of Consent, is supervised by Dr. Karen Jones and Dr. Laura Schroeter. No formal grants or lab affiliations are explicitly mentioned in the provided text.
