Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to explore the realities of U.S. college students engaged in sex work. Specifically, I focused on motivations, histories, how social identity in relation to power informed their sex worker experience, what/how they were learning as a result of sex work, and what college and university leaders could do to support them. I focused on college student sex workers with racially and sexually minoritized identities. I used a genre-blurred critical narrative inquiry that combined aspects of the biographical genre (life history) and the art-based genre (creative non-fiction). Intersectionality (Crenshaw, 1991) and the polymorphous paradigm (Weizter, 2010) served as the theoretical framework for the inquiry and the Listening Guide (Gilligan, 2015) served as my analysis process. I developed six key findings including: critical differences between student sex workers with minoritized racial and sexual identities and those with dominant social identities, queer (in)visibility as it relates to their sex work, a lack of trust in college/university administrators, a lack of their ability to imagine how institutional leaders could (or would) support them; a clarity of: power and dominance, the violence of men, and a development of their overall confidence. I offer a discussion of the findings, implications, and future directions for this area of research and inquiry.

Book excerpt: Are sex workers victims, criminals, or just trying to make a living? Over the last five years, public policy and academic discourse have moved from criminalization of sex workers to victim-based understanding, shaped by human trafficking. While most research focuses on macro-level policies and theories, less is known about the on-the-ground perspectives of people whose lives are impacted by sex work, including attorneys, social workers, police officers, probation officers, and sex workers themselves. Challenging Perspectives on Street-Based Sex Work brings the voices of lower-echelon sex workers and those individuals charged with policy development and enforcement into conversation with one another. Chapters highlight some of the current approaches to sex work, such as diversion courts, trafficking task forces, law enforcement assisted diversion and decriminalization. It also examines how sex workers navigate seldom-discussed social phenomenon like gentrification, pregnancy, imperialism, and being subjects of research. Through dialogue, our authors reveal the complex reality of engaging in and regulating sex work in the United States and through American aid abroad. Contributors include: Aneesa A.

Book excerpt: Capitalism on Campus examines the university’s journey into market hands and the sexual sell-off of students, which has come with it. It raises critical questions about the forces which conjoin higher education to both sex work and declining academic freedom. In so doing it questions the role our institutions of learning have in the cultivation of resistance to capitalism. This is a call to rediscover the emancipatory potential of knowledge.
