Nothing On with Dr. Fiona Vera-Gray

Fiona Vera-Gray is an activist, researcher, and campaigner working on violence against women and girls.She is the author of Men’s Intrusion, Women’s Embodiment and The Right Amount of Panic: How women trade freedom for safety in public. Her most recent book is an exploration of women’s relationship with pornography, titled Women on Porn: One hundred stories. One vital conversation. In our conversation, we discuss how hesitation around sexual censorship gave space for large companies to dominate the porn industry, how algorithmic recommender systems are affecting our sexual freedom, and why that matters for women’s safety. We also spoke about women’s conflicted feelings toward the porn they watch and the politics they hold, and what that tension reveals about culture today.Learn more about Fiona’s work here.
