Keys (author and professor of criminal justice, New Mexico State University) and the artist.\r\n\r\nPadraig Robinson's film was made during his residency at Akademie Schloss Solitude, where he was a fellow in the \u00bbVisual Arts\u00ab field of practice from September 2019 to March 2020.vMasquerades of Research: Part I is a dialogic character study exploring the broader social impetus of Laud Humphreys\u2019 infamous 1968 dissertation in Sociology, <em>Tearoom Trade<\/em>. The study was based on observations made in public restrooms in St. Louis, colloquially called \u00bbtearooms,\u00ab where homosexual men of different socioeconomic classes engaged in sexual contact. With his controversial research methods, in which he observed sexual acts as a voyeur, or so-called watchqueen, and conducted interviews, Humphreys deliberately broke with the ethical protocols of science. Robinson explores Humphrey\u2019s intentions and the context of his research as well as the personal and professional impact of the study on Humphrey\u2019s career. The conversation between Robinson and David P. Keys, who has researched Humphreys\u2019 work, negotiates the progressive and controversial aspects of <em>Tearoom Trade<\/em> in light of contemporary surveillance technologies and changing connotations of \u00bbprivate\u00ab and \u00bbpublic.\u00ab\r\n\r\n<strong>The film and conversation are available for viewing on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbk.org\/en\/diskurs\/masqueradesofresearch.html\">n.b.k. website<\/a> through May 9.<\/strong>"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content_img","bgcolor":"","bgcolor_custom":"","layout_col_size":6,"img_gallery":false,"img":[28646],"img_gallery_format":""}]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/28644","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/14"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/28720"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28644"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"news_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news_type?post=28644"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
