Elizabeth Smith - PhD. Candidate

Background I have just completed an Honours degree at RMIT. My thesis was an autoethnographic look into discursive constructs of sex work in the legal Sex Industry in Melbourne
Disciplinary interests

Sociology, post-modern feminist epistemologies; (auto) ethnography; and ethno-mimesis

Thesis Title Working title: Discursive constructs of sex work
Thesis description

I have a particular interest in how dominant discourses structure what is ‘statable’ and what is not. In terms of the legal sex industry in Melbourne, I am interested in looking at the multiple knowledges held by women involved in sex work in legal Melbourne brothels; and by extension, how these knowledges are put into discourse.
