Kari Lerum Publishes in The Feminist Wire and Moderates Panel at Sextravaganza

IAS faculty member Kari Lerum published an essay in The Feminist Wire entitled “Cisgender FemmeNist reflections on Trans* Justice.” Drawing from personal, cultural, and political reflections the article calls for fans of trans* celebrities to move from adoration to action for trans* justice. Lerum also moderated a panel at the student-organized Sextravaganza at UW Seattle. The panel featured members of the Sex Workers’ Outreach Project and other sex workers rights’ advocates and discussed how criminalization of prostitution harms people in the sex industry.
