Ryan Conrad is an activist, artist, and educator who teaches at the Feminist Institute of Social Transformation at Carleton University. Conrad currently leads a SSHRC-funded research project, titled Sex Worker Self-Authoring in the Canadian Women’s Movement Archive, that explores the holdings of the CWMA housed in the Archives and Special Collections at the University of Ottawa. The project locates and animates written, visual, and audio/visual materials produced by sex workers and the sex workers’ rights movement in Canada from 1977-1992. Conrad was also a member of the now-defunct sex worker rights collectives Prostitutes of Ottawa of Ottawa-Gatineau Work Educate Resist (POWER) and Action Putes et Allie.es du Quebec (APAQ).
