Legalizing Sex Work

Sex work is a multifaceted industry, and while pornography and exotic dancing are legal, prostitution is still mostly outlawed in the U.S. With new advocates calling for it to be fully legalized, what are the arguments for, and against legalizing all of sex work? We speak to Dr. Barbara Brents, a professor at UNLV and expert on the topic, and Audrey Morissey, a former sex worker who opposes legalization.

Life Around Us

Recently, Doctor Laura Lewis published the first-ever images of cerebrospinal fluid washing in and out of the brain during sleep. This study brought up the importance of maintaining enough sleep hours. Meanwhile, conservative commentator Ben Shapiro gave a speech at BU, which evoked a large controversy in terms of freedom of speech. At the end, we invited students and professors to share their views of consumer behavior on Black Friday and the reasoning behind these behaviors.
