Sex Worker Syllabus and Toolkit for Academics

Toolkit and readings originally curated by Angela Jones, PJ Patella-Rey, and Heather Berg

In crafting this syllabus, we stand on the shoulders of giants. Sex workers have been curating and circulating community education resources (including syllabi and reading lists) for decades. These community resources were crucial to our educations, and we encourage readers to support the organizers working to create them. Some of these resources are internal, but many are already doing the public work of challenging academic practices: In 1997, when the International Sex Worker Foundation for Art, Culture, and Education was founded, they wrote up a curriculum for online classes that could be made available to colleges and universities worldwide. More recently, the Chicago and New York City-based Support Ho(s)e Collective has shared a Sex Work Syllabus generated from community reading groups and also created a Sex Work Centered Guide for Academics. Sex worker activist Lorelei Lee curated a reading list for the Law and Political Economy Project, and moses moon (aka thotscholar) created a Proheauxism 101 Syllabus.  In Canada, The Safe Harbour Outreach program published a Sex Worker Rights Reading List. These are only a few examples of the many community-led education efforts.

In our initial draft of this document, we failed to appropriately acknowledge these efforts and thank members of the sex worker community for calling this out. As we continue to revise our current project, we hope to do so in a way that extends and amplifies these efforts. Please contact us if there is missing community work that we should be highlighting.

As current academics with attachments to the sex worker communities, we hope to help create a bridge between classroom and community. We called this “The Sex Worker Syllabus” to highlight that its goal is not to focus on academic research about sex workers but on work produced directly by sex workers. This is important because, chief among our goals is to demonstrate that classroom discussions about sex work can and should center the voices of sex workers—a project we’ve all undertaken in our own classrooms. Our syllabus shows that there is ample sex-worker-produced writing and other media to support this. (We also share a list of volunteer speakers and their fees.) We hope that these resources will, in turn, also promote ethical citational practices and more meaningful community engagement in research. We hope that our syllabus will also serve sex worker communities as a supplement to existing resources.

The sex worker syllabus has three main aims: First, we hope that instructors designing sex work syllabi will use the document to integrate sex worker-produced writing and digital media as assigned texts. Second, we aim to encourage scholars of sex work, especially those who do not come to scholarship with sex working experience, to cite and engage sex worker knowledge production. Both aims are informed by the core principle: “nothing about us without us," which urges the inclusion of sex worker voices in policymaking, scholarship, and teaching about sexual labor. Finally, we hope to support sex worker thinkers and organizers inside and outside the academy as we/they engage each other’s work.

A note on terminology and organization: This document uses the broad term sex work to encompass a range of erotic labors. Following many of the thinkers included here, we do not view work language as necessarily connoting consent, favorable working conditions, or uniformly positive experiences of sexual labor. Thus, while we include a section explicitly focused on trafficking, this document’s organization is not meant to imply a hard distinction between consensual work and trafficking. We acknowledge that it is common for people to experience a mixture of choice, economic necessity, and coercion while working in the sex trades. In fact, many of the authors included throughout this syllabus describe personal experiences that fall along a consent continuum.

Preface: The Creation of the Syllabus

This syllabus is a living document and will continue to be revised. This document was born out of Twitter threads, online conversations, and through engagement with sex workers inside and outside of the academy. The process was designed to maximize current sex workers’ input while also minimizing requests for their unpaid labor. To that end, we invite workers to continue to contribute feedback and suggested resources, while we will continue to do the work of formatting, organizing thematically, and hosting the document.

Critically, we need to trouble the insider/outsider binary. Some sex workers are academics; some academics have a background in sex work. In both scenarios, due to whorephobia and stigma it may not be safe to be out. Thus, sex working academics may be cautious of how much they share publicly. For example, someone might write about experiences working as a stripper but not discuss their full service work history. Also, we are also cautious about adding the writing of academics we know do sex work, but who may not be out, and have only added such authors with their permission. Please see the reading in the syllabus on being an out sex work in academia. If you are a sex worker, just as we invite you to continue to submit your work for inclusion, please do not hesitate to contact us about removing your work at any time.

Designing a comprehensive syllabus compiling sex-worker-produced media only comes with challenges we want to call out and recognize here. Given rampant whorephobia, stigma, and criminalization, many sex workers are disinclined to share their work history and experiences publicly. In some instances doing so could affect one's housing, parents’ risk state inventions regarding their children, and a wide range of other adverse unjust consequences. Given these conditions, there are sex workers' voices around the world that are not captured in this syllabus. It is critical that we acknowledge that while we can strive towards the broadest inclusion possible, we can only ever achieve partial representation of such a vast and diverse community.

An additional note on inclusion: We respect people’s self-identification and do not believe it is our place to determine who counts as a sex worker and who does not. In this syllabus, we added sources from sex workers currently working in erotic labor and writing by authors who are currently retired. We encourage users of the syllabus to consider the positionality of writers when discussing these materials with students and when citing sources in their academic writing. As many sex workers have said in spaces such as Twitter, does a quick trip around the pole, make one an authority on sex work? If professors are teaching classes about current sex industries, those with current work experience may be best poised to speak about such markets. However, those with past experiences can offer important insights into sex industries as well, but differences in positionality should be considered and unpacked.

Instructors might consider encouraging students to purchase course texts from Bluestockings, a sex worker-owned bookstore with significant sex worker leadership.

The Toolkit: How to Use This Syllabus

First, as a primer before preparing your syllabus, we suggest reading the following (these will also be valuable to students):

D'Adamo, Kate. 2017. Sex (Work) in the Classroom: How Academia Can Support the Sex Workers' Rights Movement. In Challenging Perspectives on Street-Based Sex Work. eds. Katie Hail-Jares, Corey S. Shdaimah, and Chrysanthi S. Leon.

Corado, Ruby. 2017. Nothing about Us without Us: The Trans Response to Survival Sex Work. In Challenging Perspectives on Street-Based Sex Work. eds. Katie Hail-Jares, Corey S. Shdaimah, and Chrysanthi S. Leon.

babylon, femi (aka Moses Moon). 2020. 85 Ways to Make Sex Workers' Lives a Little Easier. VICE.

Waring, Camille Melissa. 2021. Out in Academia.

Heineman, Jenny. Pussy Patrols in Academia: Towards a Disobedient, Sex-Worker Inclusive Feminist Praxis. Feminist Formations.

Mistress Snow. 2019. I Told My Mentor I Was a Dominatrix. The Chronicle of Higher Education.

Bee, Victoria. 2021. Vital Statistics.

Support Ho(s)e. 2021. Sex Work Centered Guide for Academics.

Second, when you select readings we suggest professors do so with the decolonization of classroom in mind and seeking to challenge systems of oppression such as white supremacy, ableism, cisgenderism, and transmisogyny, we encourage anyone using this syllabus to ensure that they are including and centering marginalized voices such as Indigenous, Black, and other folks of color, trans, non-binary people, disabled sex workers, and those experiencing poverty.

Third, in conjunction with this syllabus, we also suggest that, when possible, professors invite sex workers to give guest lectures in class. However, we encourage educators to do so only when they can offer an honorarium. When professors do invite sex workers to speak, they should also be transparent about how long the bureaucratic machine will take to process the payment. Academics may be asked to do unpaid labor as part of their professorial work, but it is unethical to ask sex workers to speak for free. We are inspired here by sex workers’ commitments to mutual aid and compensating each other for labor, even when resources are sparse. If your institution does not offer honorarium support, please consider self-funding, or use the various digital media here to bring sex worker perspectives into class time. Please see the last section of the syllabus for a list of sex worker speakers, which we will continue to update.

Fourth, if using news or other mainstream articles about sex workers, please be sure to include sex worker journalists— list of sex worker news outlets and journalists is at the end of the syllabus.

Fifth, if referencing and discussing platforms, please ensure to highlight sex worker created and run platforms. For example, Tryst is a sex worker created and run ad site and blog.

Finally, considering the different learning styles of students, and that sex workers often speak through forms of media that are different from those conventionally found in an academic setting, please consider adding podcast episodes, youtube videos, sex worker conference panels, which can be found in Part III of the syllabus as well as in the thematic sections of the syllabus.
