Institution:

Trinity College

Subject:

Description:

This course will analyze and examine the intersection of sex and work in the United States. We will explore sexual labors-prostitution, sexual acting and performance, forced and voluntary sexual labor-in the contexts of U.S. history, culture, economy, politics, and society. We will examine efforts to criminalize and decriminalize sex work, subcultures of sex workers, and dynamics of power in sex work through the lenses of socioeconomic class, gender, and sexuality. To do so, we will trace historical and current constructions of sex (as) work through a blend of sources-diaries and letters, film, music, popular literature, and secondary analysis 1.00 units, Seminar
