“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?

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.
