I presented my research on pornography at the Desiree Alliance Conference on Friday--the conference was held in conjunction with the 2007 West Coast Convergence on sex work. What a great experience!
If any readers attended the conference/my talk, many thanks for your kind words and insightful questions. It was a pleasure to have the opportunity to connect with you, even for as brief a time as I was able. I was hoping to stick around afterwards to meet and mingle, but unfortunately was called away early.
For readers who did not attend, I recommend checking out Desiree Alliance--make a donation or attend next year's conference. They work hard to put together worthwhile events offering a forum for people who don't always have an opportunity to speak out.
Are you going to post your talk, or give us a summary? Please do. I bet it was worth hearing!

If my notes were more than scattered thoughts scribbled down on the bus on my way to the event, I would post them...
Unfortunately, the time I had alloted to craft a well thought-out talk was trumped by power greater than me.
I focused on the economic side of the porn industry, and basically delivered a synopsis of Chapter 3 of my thesis.

I just found your blog via Susie Bright; so sad I missed your talk at Desiree.
Have you seen the Desiree Alliance group blog?
