SOSC 3242 Midterm Questions and Instructions Midterm will be on Thursday, May 26 from 2:30-5:30 Seven of the questions listed below will be on the midterm, out of which you need to answer five (each of the five will be worth 4% for a total of 20%). Each answer should be approximately 1-2 pages, or 4-6 paragraphs. Use full sentences. You will be evaluated on the basis of accuracy, thoroughness, reference to authors, reference to concepts and their definitions, and reference to other course materials. Aim to define key concepts and integrate these into your answers. Also aim to accurately present the positions of our various authors. You can bring one sheet with text on both sides to aid in your answers. MAY 12: PERSPECTIVES FROM SEX WORKERS 1. How do homophobia and transphobia impact the choice of some to pursue sex work? 2. Why is it important to situate sex work and sexual labour within the context of globalized, heteronormative, patriarchal, capitalist economies? MAY 17: DEFINING SEXUAL LABOUR 3. How do we distinguish sexual labour and sex work from other forms of intimate labour and body work? 4. What are emotional labour and aesthetic labour? How are these specific skills for sex work? MAY 19: FEMINISM AND SEX WORK 5. What is the range of positions developed and advocated by feminists in regard to sex work and sexual labour? How would you describe these positions? 6. How are choice, autonomy, agency and consent taken up in different ways by feminists? How is the concept of false consciousness deployed by some feminists in relation to sex work and sexual labour? MAY 24: SEX WORK OR SEX TRAFFICKING? 7. Authors argue that the laws intended to protect people from sex trafficking actually put workers at greater risk. How is this the case? 8. What is the narrative that supports the broader discourse of sex workers being at great risk from trafficking? How does this narrative undermine sex worker rights? 9. Consider how our readings underpin the importance of taking an intersectional approach to research on sex work. How are racism and racialization critical to our understanding of the uneven impacts of various laws related to sex work?
