there are a lot of philosophical concepts that get egregiously misused out of the seminar room (and in the seminar room, to be fair). but in terms of sheer pernicious misuse "social construct" has gotta be top 5 somewhere and it's not number 5

Today, on International Sex Workers’ Day, we stand in solidarity with sex workers worldwide. Allyship means listening, challenging stigma, and advocating. Here are some ways you can be an active ally every day! #sexworkersday #standwithsexworkers #supportsexwork #decrimnow #allyship
Graphic: Gradient blue and red background. Large white bold text on top. Basis Yorkshire logo in bottom left corner. Text reads: Stand with sex workers. International Sex Workers Day 2nd June 2026.Graphic: Gradient blue and red background. Large white bold text on top. 
Text reads: The History. On the 2nd of June 1975, over 100 sex workers began an 8-day occupation of Saint-Nizier Church in Lyon, France.
They demanded an end to stigma, police harassment and child removal. They demanded justice for those who had experienced violence and expressed anger about their criminalised and exploitative living conditions.
This day marked the start of an international movement.Graphic: Gradient blue and red background. Large white bold text on top.
Text reads: How can you help?

Unpopular opinion probably but I really don't resent students claiming lost learning during the early stages of the ongoing pandemic. Bosses screwed over both students and staff. We all were (/are) put in danger, messed about with constant changes in expectations, and overworked.

Should pornography be authentic? Some people think so, and partly because they think this would make it better ethically rather than just, well, better. Rosa Vince disagrees!

Are you working on sexualisation or objectification? Come share your research at our December workshop!
Objectification and sexualisation - submission deadline: 4th of AugustObjectification is a core concept in feminist thought, often used for articulating what is going wrong in phenomena like catcalling, sexist advertising, and unwelcome sexual attention. At the same time, treating one another as sexual agents, even sexual objects, has been defended as an often important and joyful part of life. Both concepts have seen a recent resurgence in discussions of newer forms online content-creation, from TikTok to OnlyFans.We are interested in hearing about any new work on sexualisation and objectification. We welcome contributions on questions such as (but not limited to):

    What is the difference between sexualisation and objectification?
    How do we sexualise and objectify others - is it a kind of paying attention? How does this work?
    What is the relationship, if any, between dehumanisation and objectification?
    When is objectification benign or good?
    Is it ever wrong to not sexualise someone?
    What is the relationship between sexual and non-sexual objectification?
    Is it possible for a person to objectify themselves?
    What is the impact of social media on objectification and/or sexualisation?
This event is organised by philosophers, but we welcome applications from those working in other disciplines too.

Talks will be 30 minutes, with 15 minutes for questions.  This will be an in-person event, but we aim to provide provision for speakers who cannot travel to join us online.
