Abstract

The Sex Work Historian is a multi-media collaborative effort that utilizes the author’s skills and experiences as a trained historian to highlight the many struggles and resistances of sex worker communities. As a collaborative effort, The Sex Work Historian is both living and ongoing, prioritizing and working alongside those already combatting whorephobia. Often operating outside the bounds of traditional academia, The Sex Work Historian consists of a blog, its own Twitter/X, Instagram, and Bluesky social media accounts, and a Discord and Twitch channel, all of which focus on sex work and sex workers. Through these various modes of engagement, The Sex Work Historian offers one more voice, comprised of various stories, experiences, and realities, in the fight against the endless cycles of erasure sex workers and their histories face.
