Sex Work on Campus

Sex Work On Campus explores the experiences of college students engaged in sex work and sparks dialogue about the ways educators might develop a deeper appreciation for-and praxis of-equity, justice, and liberation on campus.

Terah J. Stewart (he/him), PhD, is an assistant professor of higher education and student affairs at Iowa State University. His research and writing focus on people and populations that are hypermarginalized and/or who are considered to have stigmatized identities, including college students engaged in sex work, fat students on campus, and identity-based student activism. He also engages in conceptual and empirical study of antiblackness in non-black communities of color. His work often centers on critical disruptive onto-epistemological frameworks and theories which seek to destabilize dominant ways of knowing and being, including Black/endarkened feminist, womanist, and Afropessimist perspectives. His research and writing have appeared in Action Research, Journal of Diversity in Higher Education, Journal of Student Affairs Research and Practice, Journal Committed to Scholarship on Race and Ethnicity, and the Journal of College Student Development. Dr. Stewart is also a coauthor of Identity-Based Student Activism: Power and Oppression on College Campuses (2020, Routledge).
