|
October 15, 2021 | 12-1:30PM PT
"Sexual Archives, Law, and the Politics of Shame"
Featuring Jennifer Tyburczy (UCSB) and Joshua Chambers-Letson (Northwestern).
What happens when technology, sex, privilege, shame, and jurisprudence collide? With the increased visibility of "sex" as content creation on social media platforms like Twitter and Instagram and the recent media debacle between Onlyfans and sex workers, questions about political correctness, body politics, and sexual legacies and shame erupt. This panel will specifically address the ways in which sex and the law meet dignity and possibility for marginalized communities and everyday sexual citizens.
