Digital Teaching & Research project headed by Laurie Bertram on the Sex Trade in Toronto featured in Globe & Mail
Over the past year, Professor Laurie Bertram has been engaging her 400 level seminar students in a research project to plot the geographical location of the sex trade in 19th century Toronto: where were the brothels? The arrests and prosecutions? The ‘reformatories’ meant to encourage women to leave the profession? The students’ work has turned up some interesting results, as featured in an exhibition and on-line map that the Globe and Mail reports on here: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/toronto/story-of-torontos-19th-century-sex-trade-uncovered-by-professor-students/article30020414/
