In this course we will talk about various aspects of the history prostitution in the 20th century.The goal is not only to learn more about the "histories" of prostitution in the 20th century in Germany, Europe and beyond, but also to engage with the methodological challenges of the history of prostitution. In particular, we will discuss the types of sources historians of prostitution have access to and rely on, how these sources can be interpreted and used to write various histories.
