Letters From College Student Sex Workers: Implications for Practice
27 JUNE 2022 // 1:00PM – 2:00PM ET // $10 registration
College student sex workers are largely missing from higher education and student affairs research, and as such, there is limited information for best practices to better support them in college and university settings. Reporting from an action research study with college student sex workers as collaborators, this session will be invaluable for practitioners and policymakers to become better informed about 1) the current contexts that college student sex workers maneuver and 2) strategies to support these students.
Presented by:
TJ Stewart, Iowa State University
Terah J. Stewart, PhD (he/him) is an assistant professor of higher education and student affairs at Iowa State University.

His work centers on critical disruptive onto-epistemological frameworks and theories 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.
