In recent years, the history of prostitution has experienced increased scholarly attention and numerous publications on the subject indicate its complexity and methodological depth. Central, Eastern and South-Eastern-Europe figure prominently in this research, even though studies on the late 19th and early 20th century seem to dominate. Hence, the goal of the workshop is to bring together a broad range of scholars working on the history of prostitution with different approaches and perspectives, on various countries and periods, ranging from the Early Modern period to the late 20th century.
