SEXHUM’s PI – Prof Nicola Mai
Nicola (Nick) Mai is a sociologist, an ethnographer and a filmmaker. His research, involves participative action approaches and focuses on the experiences and representations of criminalised, marginalised and stigmatised migrant groups. Nick is also a filmmaker adopting co-creative and participatory methods to ensure migrants own the terms of their representations and are able to express their perspectives, priorities and needs. Through experimental documentaries and original research findings his work challenges prevailing humanitarian representations of the relationship between migration and sex work in terms of trafficking, while analyzing sex workers’ complex experiences and understandings of exploitation and agency.
Between 2008 and 2010 Nick was the Principal Investigator of a two-year ‘Migrant Workers in the UK Sex Industry’ ESRC project which produced 100 qualitative interviews with women, men and transgender people and found that only a minority felt that they were trafficked. In 2014 and 2015 he was based at the Mediterranean Laboratory of Sociology – LAMES (MMSH/Aix -Marseille University) to direct the ‘Emborders’ project, comparing the impact of humanitarian interventions targeting migrant sex workers and sexual minority asylum seekers in the UK (London) and France (Marseille/Paris) through ethnographic research and experimental filmmaking.
Between 2016 and 2020 Nick directed the SEXHUM ERC Consolidator Grant (Sexual Humanitarianism: Migration, Sex Work and Trafficking – 2016-2020) to study impact of anti-trafficking legislation and initiatives on the governance of migration and on the sex industry in the global North by analysing migrant’s own understandings and experiences of agency and exploitation in Australia, France, New Zealand and the US.

AUSTRALIA – Dr PG Macioti
Dr PG Macioti is a researcher in the fields of migration, citizenship, sex work and language. She completed her PhD in Politics and International Studies at the Open University in 2014. Her PhD was about language, transformation and the enactment of citizenship by marginalised groups, including migrant sex workers. Before completing her PhD, PG Macioti worked in a number of research projects on sex work, migration, Roma rights and sex worker rights activism, including Nick Mai’s 2009 “Migrants in the UK Sex Industry” at London Metropolitan University and the 2009-2013 Fp7 Project “Enacting European Citizenship” at the Open University. Since completing her PhD, PG has been focussing her research on the complexity of sex work stigma. She utilises stigma as a filter to evaluate policies as well as an analytical category to analyse intersectional inequalities. As a result of her membership in the ProsPol COST Action 2014-1017, she embarked in a number of research projects, including the co-editing of “Sex Workers Speak. Who Listens?” for the Beyond Slavery and Trafficking Series of Open Democracy and a participatory research project on sex workers’ collective forms of professionalisation with Dr Giulia Garofalo Geymonat. Together with Prof. Nick Mai and Dr. Giulia Garofalo, PG is undertaking a pilot participatory research project on “Access to Metal Health Services for People who Sell Sex”. P.G. is also currently working on a critical review on mental occupational health, sex work and other “risky” professions at the Faculty of Public Health and Policies of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, with Pippa Grenfell and Dr Lucy Platt.

FRANCE – Dr Calogero Giametta
Calogero Giametta is a sociologist with a research focus on migration, gender and sexuality. His work focuses on the analysis of two forms of socio-legal protection addressing non-EU migrants in France and in the UK: anti-trafficking initiatives and the right of asylum. His writings explore how migration control operates, at various levels, through (sexual) humanitarian interventions. Between 2010 and 2014 his PhD research (London Metropolitan University) looked at the lived experiences of gender and sexual minority refugees, and on the discourses linking the politics of sexuality and the British refugee granting process; this included ethnography with LGBT asylum seekers living in the UK. In his current post-doctoral position within SEXHUM he has expanded his research focus to the analysis of humanitarian discourses and securitisation practices targeting migrant sex-workers within the French migration regime.

FRANCE – Dr Sandrine Musso
Social Anthropologist Sandrine Musso is associate professor at Aix-Marseille University (Department of Anthropology) and a researcher at UMR Center Norbert Elias in Marseille (EHESS/CNRS). She has a long track record in the field of political anthropology of health, and her research has primarily focussed on the situation of postcolonial minorities in France with HIV/AIDS. Throughout her long term fieldwork on these dynamics Sandrine has explored strategic issues including discrimination, social categorizations in the treatment of the disease, mediation in public health, the sociology of immigration, and commitment and reflexivity in the conduct of research. She also studied how the discipline of public health constructs specific social groups as vulnerable at the intersection of epidemiology, history and social and political treatment. More generally, her currents works deal with migration and health and explore how the migrant body is shaped at the articulation of biopolitical procedures and political claims.
Sandrine is member of the French National Council of Aids and Viral Hepatitis is currently affiliated to two international research projects: the SEXHUM Project and the project WAIT – Waiting for an uncertain future: the temporalities of irregular migration (http://www.uib.no/en/project/wait).

UNITED STATES (LA) – Dr Jennifer Musto
Jennifer Musto is an interdisciplinary scholar whose research interests are situated at the intersections of gender, sexuality, feminism, technology, law, and migration. An animating question that shapes her research are the ways in which laws, technologies, and collaborative modes of governance are leveraged to respond to human trafficking, sex work, and gendered vulnerability, broadly defined. Her research also seeks to account for how and under what circumstances collaborations between state and non-state actors promote the security, safety, and legal recognition of some groups while authorizing the surveillance, social control, and vulnerability of others.
Before joining the SEXHUM research team, Jennifer was an External Faculty Fellow at Rice University and a member of the Humanities Research Center’s inaugural Seminar, Human Trafficking Past and Present: Crossing Borders, Crossing Disciplines She was also a postdoctoral researcher at USC’s Annenberg Center on Communication & Leadership Policy a Visiting Scholar in the Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Program at Northeastern University, and a Fulbright scholar affiliated with Utrecht University in the Netherlands. In addition to her research for SEXHUM, Jennifer is an Assistant Professor of Women’s and Gender Studies at Wellesley College.
