Journal aims & scope:

/Porn Studies /is the first dedicated, international, peer-reviewed 
journal to critically explore those cultural products and services 
designated as pornographic and their cultural, economic, historical, 
institutional, legal and social contexts. /Porn Studies /will publish 
innovative work examining specifically sexual and explicit media forms, 
their connections to wider media landscapes and their links to the 
broader spheres of (sex) work across historical periods and national 
contexts.

/Porn Studies /is an interdisciplinary journal informed by critical 
sexuality studies and work exploring the intersection of sexuality, 
gender, race, class, age and ability. It focuses on developing knowledge 
of pornographies past and present, in all their variations and around 
the world. Because pornography studies are still in their infancy we are 
also interested in discussions that focus on theoretical approaches, 
methodology and research ethics. Alongside articles, the journal 
includes a forum devoted to shorter observations, developments, debates 
or issues in porn studies, designed to encourage exchange and debate.
