In candid and accessible prose, Howlett explores sex workers' centrality to the development of federal sex education programs. Narratives about sex workers have secured state-sanctioned gender and sexual norms. Howlett's approach to sex education history illuminates contemporary sex-, gender-, and race-based violences against and policing of marginalized persons. * Mary Zaborskis, Assistant Professor of American Studies and Gender Studies, The Pennsylvania State University, USA * Howlett cracks open decades-long debates about policy reform for state-led sex education and offers a novel intervention; we see the fundamental violence of sex education in her tracing of the construction of the normative sexual citizen vis-a-vis the disposability of the sex worker. A much-needed call to dream about radical sexual pedagogies. * Dr. Jessica Wright, Postdoctoral Researcher, McGill University, Canada *
