Professor Jennifer Drobac discussed her most recent book, Sexual Exploitation of Teenagers, at Universidad Austral in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on December 14. She spoke about her work during Professor Úrsula Basset's family law class.
Professor Drobac met Professor Basset, who is the secretary for the International Society of Family Law, during Summer 2017 while in Amsterdam. Professor Drobac was there to give a talk on a paper about the neuroscience of decision making and family law.

Upon leaving Buenos Aires, Professor Drobac will travel to Harvard Law School’s Petrie-Flom Center. There, she will spend the spring semester researching her next book, The Myth of Consent, which she is co-writing with Professor Oliver Goodenough. That work will explore the neuroscience of adult decision making and how the science should influence law reform.
Professor Drobac has been much in demand by media for her expertise on sexual harassment law. She is the R. Bruce Townsend Professor of Law at IU McKinney.
