Show Notes

“Dissecting mainstream media depictions of the New Zealand sex-work industry.”


Why is ‘the oldest profession in the world’ routinely excluded from labour rights discourse? Why are sex-workers ostracized, & framed as ‘outsiders’ in their own communities? How does our media bend their stance on sex-work, to benefit contradictory narratives? Dr. Gwyn Easterbrook-Smith joins us to Unpack the nuance of sex-work in Aotearoa ~ “it’s something you do, not something you are”.


This is the condensed, short-form version of our full interview with Dr. Kerr. To listen to the full episode, + bonus content, head to patreon.com/phdunpacked.
