Research Overview Dr. Jamie Magnusson's activism and scholarship on ‘urban poverty and rebel cities' examine militarized financialization in terms of urban development and social justice themes, with particular attention to BIPOC women, youth, and queer communities. She has recently written and presented on the political economy of sex work, domestic sex trafficking, surveillance capitalism, and the financialization of living systems. She is currently involved in documenting women's organizing and prefigurative politics within illegal economies. Her community activism includes working with sex workers, youth who have been exploited in the sex industry, and working with lgbtq+ activists.
