Revolting Prostitutes: the Fight for Sex Workers' Rights (by Molly Smith and Juno Mac)
You are invited to the book launch of 'Revolting Prostitutes: the Fight for Sex Workers' Rights, by Molly Smith and Juno Mac. This highly anticipated book discusses current debates on sex work, national and international sex worker self-organisation, and how sex worker rights fit in an intersectional critique of inequality in society. For more information about the book: https://www.versobooks.com/books/2752-revolting-prostitutes.
CERIC is a leading institute on sex work as an issue of labour and work, and the authors will be joined in a panel by current CERIC researchers. The panel will discuss, among other topics: the importance of viewing sex work as a topic of work and labour, the difficulties inherent in researching sex work, and the challengers researchers and activists encounter when they speak or write about sex work in a data-driven way.
The panel will run from 5 pm, followed by a wine reception at 6pm. Venue - Room 1.06 (Maurice Keyworth Building). To secure your place please register.
