Books in the Interdisciplinary Studies in Sex for Sale series

With each chapter dedicated to a separate country and written by a national authority on the subject, Assessing European Prostitution Policies explores how prostitution is regulated in twenty-one European countries. This innovative volume draws out important implications for an effective and humane prostitution policy.

Reconfiguring Stigma in Studies of Sex for Sale is about the production and effects of stigma in sex work or prostitution with contributions from four continents and different disciplines that taken together explore how such stigma is conditioned by differences in time, place, citizenship, gender, sexuality, class and race.

The starting point for this book is the question of how we research sex for sale and the implications of the choices we make in terms of epistemology and ethics.

Understanding Sex for Sale aims to understand how prostitution, sex work or sex for sale are delineated, contested and understood in different spaces, places and times; with a particular focus on identifying how the relation between sex and money is interpreted and enacted.
