"This volume is the result of the many years the authors have spent conducting ethnographic
field research with sex workers, conversing with other researchers, and, perhaps most
importantly, developing a deep sense of empathy for the sex worker participants in
the research as well as the colleagues who carry out this work with the goal of advancing
social justice. They have a combined total of twenty-five years' experience carrying
out research with sex workers, and this extensive period of time has given them ample
opportunity to reflect upon the topic of ethics. Sex work, defined as the exchange
of sexual or sexualized intimacy for money or something of value, encompasses a wide
range of legal and illegal behaviors that present researchers with key ethical challenges
explored in the volume. These ethical challenges include: Research methodology ; Distinguishing
research from activism ; Navigating the politically and ideologically charged environments
in which researchers must remain constantly attuned to the legal and public policy
implications of their work ; Possibilities for participatory sex work research processes
; Strategies for incorporating participants in a variety of collaborative ways. Sex
work presents a unique set of challenges that are not always well understood by those
working outside of anthropology and disciplines closely related to it. This book serves
an important function by honestly and openly reviewing strategies for overcoming these
ethical challenges with the end goal of producing path-breaking research that actively
incorporates the perspectives of research participants on their own terms. Ever attuned
to the reality that research on sex work remains a deeply political act, Ethical Research
with Sex Workers: Anthropological Approaches aspires to begin a dialogue about the
meanings and practices ascribed to ethics in a fraught environment. Drawing upon a
review of published scholarly and activist work on the subject, as well as on interviews
with researchers, social service providers, and sex workers themselves, this volume
is an unprecedented contribution to the literature that will engage researchers across
a variety of disciplines, such as academics and researchers in anthropology, sociology,
criminal justice, and public health, as well as activists and policymakers."--Publisher's
