Rescue Narratives in Contemporary and Mid-to-Late Nineteenth Century Scotland: The 'Fallen Woman' in Legal and Literary Cultures.

将法律和文学方法论与女权主义和叙事理论相结合，我的研究揭示了当代和历史苏格兰文学和法律文化中“拯救”的众多叙事和反叙事。除了档案法律研究外，我的研究还探讨了小说、自传、诗歌、报纸和期刊文学中对救援叙事的描述，特别关注工人阶级妇女的来源。与性工作者权利组织SWARM和Scot-Pep合作，我提出的研究旨在激发人们对21世纪苏格兰性工作政策和法规中持续存在的救援叙述的历史的更深入理解。

Integrating a law and literature methodology with feminist and narrative theories, my research sheds light on numerous narratives, and counter-narratives, of 'rescue' in contemporary and historical Scottish literary and legal cultures. Alongside archival legal research, my research explores the depiction of the rescue narrative in fiction, autobiography, poetry, newspaper and periodical literature, with special attentiveness to sources by working-class women. Engaging with sex worker rights groups SWARM and Scot-Pep, my proposed research seeks to inspire a greater understanding of the history underpinning the persistence of rescue narratives in twenty-first century Scottish sex work policy and regulation.
