Dear all,
Some geographers may be interested in the attached CFP for a stream on
'Body/sex/work: exploring the diversification of sexual and corporeal
labour' at the International Labour Process Conference in Leeds, UK,
5th-7th April 2011.
This stream is broad and hopes to appeal to those working across the
spectrum of disciplines whose work seeks to understand the
intersections of sexuality, the body, gender and work in contemporary
labour processes. The stream will particularly welcome papers that
address any of the following:
- Theoretical and critical advancements in the idea of ‘sex as work’
and ‘body as work’
- The social division of sexual and bodily labour
- Investigations into the labour processes of sexuality/sex as labour
- Comparative work which examines these forms of labour or contrasts
them with others
- Regulation, sex and labour process
- Informal/formal economies of sexual labour
- Critical perspectives on sex and the body in the ‘feminisation of labour’
- Migration sexual labour and employment status Unionisation,
representation and support services
- Emotional labour, body work and sexuality
- Critical policy evaluations of law/policy which affects sex workers
Please submit abstracts to www.ilpc.org.uk by October 31st, 2010.
See attached for further details.
