Feminist Whores? Exploring Feminist Debates around Violence, Sex Work and Pornography Part 2

Annual Conference: Crime and Conflict Research Centre, Middlesex University School of Law. Feminist Whores? Exploring Feminist Debates around Violence, Sex Work and Pornography. Middlesex University, Hatchcroft Building, Room HG19, The Burroughs, Hendon, London, NW4 4BT. Thursday 17th April 2014, 10:00-16:30. Feminism has traditionally had an uncomfortable relationship with pornography and sex work, often positioning women in these industries as hapless victims, and men as perpetrators and criminals. In the face of increasing criminalisation of sex work and censorship of pornography, this conference will aim to look at the ways in which both porn and the sex industry have been construed as violence towards women in the popular imaginary. Our intention is to present alternative ways of looking at women’s involvement in, and engagement with, both sex work and pornography, especially within the context of contemporary feminism. Academic speakers, sex worker activists, and third sector practitioners will be speaking about these issues - we welcome everyone who is interested in exploring these issues in a respectful and engaging setting. Part II: Feminism and Porn 13:30 – 15:00 Policing Porn. • Feona Attwood, Professor of Media Studies, Middlesex University. • Clarissa Smith, Professor of Sexual Cultures, Sunderland University. • Lucy Neville, Lecturer in Criminology, Middlesex University.
