AU Scholar in Residence Kate Frank has an insider’s perspective on the strip club industry.
She went “undercover” — working in five clubs in an undisclosed city for six years — as part of her anthropological research.
Frank said that as a cultural anthropologist, her first-person experience provided her with an understanding of the industry that she could not have gotten from the outside.
“My experience was privileged, but my research has made me realize how stratified the porn industry actually is,” Frank said.
Frank spoke to more than 80 students in “Porn 101” on Tuesday, presenting the “ins and outs” of the porn industry in an event co-sponsored by Women’s Initiative and Queers and Allies.
Frank works in the Department of Sociology researching a variety of topics related to pornography, relationships and feminism. She does not teach any classes.
