Episode Description

To think about sex work differently, Dr. Juana María Rodríguez (University of California, Berkeley) argues that we too will need to think about sex differently. Specifically, her project argues against merely ending the discussion at decriminalization, which essentializes sex work as stigma turned into law. In Puta Life: Seeing Latinas, Working Sex, she connects state surveillance and the visual archives with the racialized discourses of sex work while highlighting queer and trans communities, care, and intimacies.
