In this wide-ranging conversation with PhD researcher Victoria Holt (https://twitter.com/victoriabee27), we talk about feminist research, the importance of reflexivity and researching marginalised groups. Victoria is a doctoral researcher at the University of Roehampton (https://pure.roehampton.ac.uk/portal/en/persons/victoria-holt), exploring sex workers’ experiences of domestic and familial abuse. She is an activist with the Sex Worker Advocacy and Resistance Movement (SWARM) (https://www.swarmcollective.org/) in the fight for the decriminalisation of sex work, which is core to the work and research she undertakes.
