Migrant Sex Workers: The Impact of Different Policymaking Approaches in the Global North (UvA, Amsterdam)
17/05/2019
Lecture by Professor Nicola Mai (Kingston University London, UK)
What is the impact of different sex work policymaking frameworks on the rights and lives of migrant sex workers? This lecture will interrogate the relations between migration, sex work and trafficking in the global sex industry by analysing migrants’ own understandings and experiences of agency and exploitation. An interdisciplinary approach is used that brings together anthropology, sociology, gender studies, human geography and visual anthropology to study the impact of policies and interventions targeting migrant sex workers across eight strategic urban settings in France, the US, Australia and New Zealand. The lecture will focus on producing new emic concepts to develop innovative theorisations of migrant agency and more efficient and ethical policies concerning migrants working in the sex industry and migration governance more generally. In the lecture preliminary results will be shared from the ERC-funded project SEXHUM (Sexual Humanitarianism: migration, sex work and trafficking).
