BOSTON—Public sociologist and author of You Study What?, Dr. Chauntelle Anne Tibbals is the newest feature writer and commentator for Sssh.com. Tibbals socio-cultural study of gender and sexualities will be an insightful addition to the popular online erotic women’s website, providing a unique point of view for the Sssh.com community.
"Adult content is often engaged as if it lives in a bubble—like it somehow exists independent of wider social trends, politics, news, etc,” said Tibbals. “This couldn't be further from the truth. Like every other piece of media, adult entertainment is both a partial product of and a contributing factor in the development of society and culture. I am super excited to contribute reviews and discussion to Erotic Scribes and the Sssh community within this context."
Tibbals is an embedded public sociologist specializing in gender, sexualities, work and organizations, new media and popular culture. She has spent over ten years researching the adult industry, working to complicate popular understandings of porn, its enterprise and its socio-cultural significance. Her research has been published in numerous scholarly journals, including Sexualities, Gender Work & Organization, Journal of Contemporary Ethnography, Stanford Law and Policy Review, and her ebook series, You Study What?, is available on Amazon.com. She has been quoted and cited extensively by cultural and news media outlets including CNN, Business Insider, Slate, and KPCC (NPR). For more information about Dr. Tibbals, please visit here.
