Sex Work, Labour and Relations : New Directions and Reflections

This edited collection showcases innovative, up and coming researchers’ work in the field of sex work studies across labour/work and relationships.

This research is pushing the boundaries of the subject, asking new questions, carving new methodological terrain, and contributing new ideas and empirical findings to the existing literature.

Drawing on sociology, criminology, media studies, social and health policy, law and socio-legal studies, the chapters reflect a range of new topics in the sex work studies literature such as religious readings, porn workers and their interactions with fans; romantic relationships, and humour at work.

Studies are drawn from Europe, South America, Turkey, Ireland, New Zealand and the USA.

This book speaks to academics across the social sciences and humanities who are interested in sex work studies.
