Postcapitalism Podcast

Heather Berg on p*rn, s*x work, and why the word with no asterisk is the real problem

Postcapitalism Podcast

In this episode, we’ll discuss why porn work should be regarded as similar to any other form of labour, how it gives us examples of pushing back against capitalist working conditions, and the ways it can inspire us to think about a better future. Our guest is Heather Berg, assistant professor of women, gender, and sexuality studies at Washington University in St Louis. We talk about sex worker solidarity, how porn workers cross class boundaries, and why it’s okay to be lazy.
