2002 Conference— The Business of Bodies: Women & The Global Sex Market
Within the international feminist discourse, the topic of sex work is often overlooked or oversimplified. With this conference we are hoping to broaden our collective understanding of sex work and women's involvement with the industry on a transglobal scale. Looking at sex work through the lens of interesecting identities, we hope to move beyond the "Reclimation of Power vs. Objectification" debate into a dialogue exploring the nuances of women's experiences within the sex industry.
