The second half of this week's episode is the premier of part 2 of our radio documentary series 'I'm A Sex Worker'. As a final project for Dr. Mary Shearman's GSWS 320: Sex Work - local issues in a global context, class, Caroline Doerksen, Micaela Evans, Carol Leung, Madi Pomreinke and Xizi Wang produced the radio documentary series 'I'm A Sex Woker'. This radio documentary is rooted in politics of decriminalization and comes from a sex work-is-work understanding. The intention of the radio documentary is for community media space to be utilized in sharing stories and creating new forms of knowledge production.
