Sex Work On Campus examines the experiences of college students engaged in sex work and sparks dialogue about the ways educators might develop a deeper appreciation for—and praxis of—equity and justice on campus.

Analyzing a study conducted with seven college student sex workers, the book focuses on sex work histories, student motivations, and how power (or lack thereof) associated with social identity shape experiences of student sex work. It examines what these students learn because of sex work, and what college and university leaders can do to support them. These findings are combined in tandem with analysis of current research, popular culture, sex work rights movements, and exploration of legal contexts.

This fresh and important writing is suitable for students and scholars in sexuality studies, gender studies, sociology, and education.

His work often centers on critical disruptive onto-epistemological frameworks and theories which seek to destabilize dominant ways of knowing and being, including Black/endarkened feminist, womanist, and Afropessimist perspectives. His research and writing have appeared in Action Research, Journal of Diversity in Higher Education, Journal of Student Affairs Research and Practice, Journal Committed to Scholarship on Race and Ethnicity, and the Journal of College Student Development.
