Stigma and the Shaping of the Pornography Industry examines how stigma affects the contemporary pornography industry, and the effects on organizational and technological capabilities. It focuses on the 'regular' people in the industry, and looks at the effects of stigma on employees' personal lives and future careers; the relationship between pornography companies and 'mainstream' firms; technological development; and the ways in which stigma is managed by individuals, businesses, and the industry as a whole.

Georgina Voss was awarded her PhD in Science and Technology Policy by SPRU, University of Sussex, where she is a Visiting Fellow. Her focus is interdisciplinary, bringing together social studies of science, technology and innovation; cultural sociology; and design studies to examine: grassroots, user-led, and non-market innovation; social norms and labour practices in creative, cultural and high-risk industries; and gender and sexuality.
