Siobhan Brooks
In the 1990s, Siobhan Brooks-King led a movement that resulted in the first-ever sex workers union at a strip club in San Francisco. She has gone on to interview sex workers across the country and has published several articles as a result. The story of the unionizing efforts at the Lusty Lady are chronicled in "Live Nude Girls Unite!", a documentary by Julia Query. Siobhan is featured in the film.
Brooks' research and advocacy expands to broader topics of gender and institutions, women of colo
r and mental illness, queer race identities, women in the media, race and class. She is the author of the book "Unequal Desires: Race and Erotic Capital in the Stripping Industry" (SUNY Press, 2010).
Siobhan Brooks is currently an associate professor of African-American studies at the California State University, Fullerton. She holds a B.A. in women's studies from the San Francisco State University, and a Ph.D. in sociology from the New School University in New York City.
