"Sex Work on Campus centers and uplifts the voices of actual sex workers at a time when many conversations about the future of sex work are happening without us entirely. It's a must-read for anyone trying to be informed and challenged on the topic. The artful and engaging blend of anecdote and academia makes Sex Work on Campus an urgent book for the current discourse as society reexamines labor, sex work, and the rights and futures of college students in America. Dr. Stewart has done groundbreaking work."—Tianna, Sex Work on Campus Study Collaborator/College Student Sex Worker"The invisibility of sex work(ers) on college campuses is no more! TJ Stewart has masterfully written a book that is tender, loving, and opens the door for nuanced dialogues and advocacy that helps educators and administrators develop a deeper understanding of college student sex workers and the possibilities for liberation that are layered, complex, and push our definitions of labor. This book is transformative and needed, especially at a time when laws are being enacted that increase the exposure of sex workers, who are our students, to violence. Sex Work On Campus is a must-read for faculty members and administrators truly ready to learn about labor, harm reduction, and reaching towards justice." —Dr. Bettina Love, Professor of Teacher Education, University of Georgia. Author of We Want to Do More Than Survive: Abolitionist Teaching and the Pursuit of Educational Freedom"As a former sex worker, I would consider this a masterpiece! Dr. Stewart does a wonderful job humanizing sex workers. Most of the time, sex workers are stigmatized, excluded, and ridiculed. Not this time, we finally have a student voice! This is a must-read for students, academic departments, and scholars who are looking to dispel any negative stereotypes about sex workers and those involved."—Maliah, Sex Work on Campus Study Collaborator/College Student Sex Worker"Sex Work on Campus is a brilliant, necessary, and—dare I say—intimate study of an invisible work force in higher education: the student sex worker. In centering student sex workers’ voices, Stewart highlights the institutional biases sex workers and sex work researchers face as well as the university administration that both ignores and exacerbates their most vulnerable students’ plights. This much-needed contribution to the growing academic field of sex work studies will undoubtedly become a key text for students, professors, administrators, and sex workers, as well as the increasingly visible combinations thereof."—Mistress Olivia Snow, Research Fellow at New York University’s AI Now Institute, and author of I Told My Mentor I Was a Dominatrix: She rescinded her letters of recommendation "I feel seen. And I wish this type of material was something utilized by the university that I attended (particularly while I was there). I've seen scholarly articles, of course, by those of U.S and U.K. sex industries, but I've never seen a book like this one that was so accessible, a book that can be used across a variety of classes, while also still holding us in such an honoring and respectful light. Dr. Stewart as simple as day tells the information like it is—There is no requirement to downplay or unnecessarily euphemize any material. Instead, he manages to be both straightforward and poetic at the same time throughout its entirety. This is the clarity we need. If any other sex workers read this, it is my hope that you can find relation in it, too."—Stokely, Sex Work on Campus Study Collaborator/College Student Sex WorkerSex Work on Campus is recipient of the 2023 Association for the Study of Higher Education Outstanding Book Award.
