Episode description
“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? How does our media bend their stance on sex-work, to benefit contradictory narratives? Dr. Gwyn Easterbrook-Smith joins us to Unpack the nuance of sex-work in Aotearoa ~ “it’s something you do, not something you are”.
