*ENGENDERING HEALTH BY GENDERING HOME: Experiences
of Young Women involved in Migrant Sex Work in the eastern **Caribbean***


Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork in the eastern Caribbean, this 
presentation explores the ways in which young women involved in 
cross-border sex work and systems of trafficking discuss and prioritize 
the health conditions that they face through their work and travel. 
Particular emphasis is placed on how spontaneous enactments of “home” 
amidst constant uprootedness give rise to a collective dialogue about 
health and health care behaviours.

4 p.m. Informal meeting with students from Women’s Studies and Anthropology.
