| Friday, November 17, 2023 | 1:00PM - 4:00PM | Seminar Room 208N, This event took place in-person at Room 208N, North House, 1 Devonshire Place, Toronto, ON, M5S 3K7 |
The workshop has two goals. First, from a sex-work-positive perspective, it will explore sex work (straight and LGBTQ+ [including Kathoey]) as work. What motivates sex workers to join the sector? How do conditions vary by legal status (criminalized, de-criminalized, regulated)? How do experiences vary by class, age, and racialized status? How does sex work connect with broader regional, national and global economies? Second, the workshop will examine the migration-sex work nexus. What is the relationship between migration and sex work? What particular challenges are faced by migrant sex workers (and how do they vary by age, class, racialized status)? What role does state-generated irregularization play in sex work?
Rhacel Parreñas, Florence Everline Professor of Sociology and Professor of Gender and Sexuality Studies at the University of Southern California and Visiting Professor, Gender and Sexuality Studies and Sociology, Princeton University will deliver the keynote speech titled ‘Sexual Labour and Capital.’
A reception will follow the event.
