Jennie Pearson

Jennie Pearson is a posdoctoral fellow working under the supervision of assistant professor Andrea Kr眉si as part of the CARE study. Her research focuses on mutual aid practices and community care models among sex workers across both physical and digital spaces. Using participatory approaches, she examines how sex workers navigate and resist criminalization, surveillance, deplatforming, and labour precarity through collective forms of support.

During her fellowship, Jennie is leading a participatory action research project in collaboration with local sex work organizations and activists in Vancouver. In the context of service closures and reduced organizational capacity, this work explores the chronic precarity facing traditional non-profits, as well as grassroots alternatives to community care and safety.

Together with community partners, she is co-developing a mutual aid intervention model aimed at supporting sex workers' health and safety, while strengthening the sustainability of peer-based care infrastructures.
