Hmm, I thought they were all students working their way through college.
"Barton, an assistant professor of sociology and women's studies at Morehead State University, visited the clubs -- or bars, or lounges, or theaters -- as part of the research for a book she has been working on for eight years."
I should have such a grant.....

Hmmm, I bet Hillary is jealous.
This is what you get when you let ted kennedy write the education bill...
public education is such a wonderful endeavor.
Little miss book writer is spending way too much time doing research and not nearly enough time word smithing to convince anyone of her true intentions.
The best looking dancers anywhere are at Bare Elegance in Hawthorne (actually unicorporated LA county right next to LAX). Years ago, a photographer that I knew took me there a few times to check out the scene. I was sort of surprised by the number of local celebrities that were present. BA got the cream of the crop of aspiring starlets before they got old and/or dropped out.
Actually it's Three groups. Previously molested who like to strip because now they are the boss of their bodies, previously molested and have to strip because they are hooked on drugs and their loser boyfriends beat them and tell them they are worthles and need to bring in some money, and the previoulsy molested that have turned against men and do drugs and have a girlfriends instead of getting therapy for their emotial scars.
I wonder if the researcher verified that the stories the
dancers gave her were true. I also wonder whether there are
other factors involved in choosing to make a living that way.
Can't be all about "empowering" and "surviving", since many
women don't need to do the dancing to have both.
hmm, I wonder how much these folks got paid for this study? I could have done it for a lot less money.
Bet she blended right in.
Eight years? She sure was taking her time....... Lesbian maybe?
bump
One thing I can tell you with certainty is that dancers also tend to lie about what they make.
Well, that also works for pageant girls...but it leads to a deadly trap: the looks fade, but they are never able to recover the personality they don't develop as a result of being constantly put on a pedestal.
Then they become bitter, forty-ish, liberal cranks...like Maureen Dowd. ;)
Who dat? Is that the researcher?
P.S. eight years? Also went to Hawaii and San Francisco
to do "research"?....sounds like an "avocation" and a
vacation to me...she got grants for 5 years of work...
who be paying for that????
I have nothing to add to the discussion, but ya got me with your 'yup.' What a putz I am...
Some of the best clubs are in El Paso TX.
<> It depends on what kind of research you are doing. For a quantitative study, yes it is a small data pool. For a qualitative study, that is quite a lot of informants. So, Based on your comments I do NOT think you know even the basics of social research as this is one of the first questions (qualitative or quantitative) that one asks before criticizing a study.
