Title: Academic Research around Webcamming as a form of sexual commerce
Post by: rstuart1 on 06 October 2016, 02:05:54 pm
I am a female academic who is interested in how women performers experience webcamming as a form of sexual commerce and labour. Despite this being a hugely profitable market there has been very little academic literature about this type of sex work. I wish to conduct a series of semi structured qualitative interviews with women who are either currently engaged in webcamming or have performed via webcam in the past. This research is in order to explore their experiences of this type of sex work and will go some way to filling the gap in the academic knowledge about webcamming .While at the same time building on existing academic literature about sex work, which to date has neglected online forms of sex work.This is a genuine approach so please feel free to verify me.

This is my academic profile, either: https://kent.academia.edu/rachelstuart  https://www.kent.ac.uk/law/postgraduate/taught/studentprofiles/profile9.html  .
Alternatively, you can confirm my status by contacting either of my PhD supervisors: https://www.kent.ac.uk/sspssr/staff/academic/e-i/hubbard-phil.html   or https://www.kent.ac.uk/sspssr/staff/academic/c-d/duggan-marian.html  .

My email address is rs643@kent.ac.uk . I would love to interview you if you could spare an hour or so. The interview can take place at a time that suits you best via skype. I take a non-judgmental approach and will treat everything you say to me confidentially. Due to limitations on my research budget, I cannot pay you for your time but can offer a small token of thanks with a ?20 Amazon gift voucher. If you have any questions do get in contact.?

Just a quick note to say I had a Skype interview with Rachel yesterday evening and it was interesting and good to talk about camming :)
