Erotic Labour from the Frontlines to the Classroom: Mature Student Experiences in Sexuality Studies with Kathleen Cherrington and Helen Martin S3ep2

In this episode, returning host Helen Martin sat down with Ph.D. candidate Kathleen Cherrington to discuss her scholarly activist work on sexuality studies. For fifteen years, Kathleen worked as an outreach worker to marginalized populations, specifically chronically homeless individuals, prisoners, and street-based sex workers. Her research specializations include critical sex work and erotic labour studies; transnational sexualities; scholar activism; gendered labour; women in poverty; sexual rights; creative research methods and methodologies; feminist art activism; and urban sexualities. In this episode, they chat about being a mature student, mental health during the pandemic, and Kathleen’s journey to her Ph.D. in the Gender, Feminist and Women’s Studies Department at York. Kathleen talks about some of her major takeaways from her sexuality studies degree and gives some advice for students who are considering a sexuality studies degree or want to get more involved in sex worker advocacy.
