Ep. 74 - SW Researcher and Ally Tamara O'Doherty (Pt 2/2)

Welcome back to 50 PLUS A TIP Podcast and the SECOND PART of our interview with the SW researcher and SW advocate Tamara O’Doherty. Tamara is a lecturer in the School of Criminology at Simon Fraser University (the #1 university in Canada for criminology), with several research projects and publications related to the impacts of criminalization, victimization in commercial sex, legal analyses of human trafficking, and other human-rights and knowledge production publications. 

The second part of this 2 PART interview we ask Tamara your listener questions: What is this new Canadian Bill proposal concerning porn and what is it’s purpose? Will the government know I’m a stripper if I file for unemployment and dance in clubs? Why is porn legal and not such a legal battleground but prostitution is? Is there an appetite for lawmakers to Decriminalize sex work in our lifetime? Can an unmarried father use a career in SW against you in family law proceedings? What are the legal ramifications if you’re caught doing SW and you have an incurable sti (like HIV undetected)? And can being a SWer hurt your academic career? 

It was an absolute pleasure to sit down with Tamara and pick her beautiful brain. We hope you all learned a lot from this TWO PARTER and don’t forget to RATE, REVIEW AND SUBSCRIBE on Apple Podcast and Spotify. 

Have a wonderful week and happy wh0re-ing! 💋
