While some Ivy League professors are clean-cut academics who wear suits with bowties and carry stacks of books from the library, others shatter that image. Instead, some wear jeans and explore very dark, far-away places. One of those researchers studies the underworld of the sex trade - not just in Philadelphia but also in New York City and in India. Toorjo Ghose is a 41-year-old assistant professor at the School of Social Policy & Practice who came to Penn in 2007. He's developed a strong reputation on campus and abroad for his commitment to human rights. And he's known for his flowing, deep black, lengthy locks that reach his waist. Ghose grew up in Calcutta, which he says is one of the most diverse and interesting cities in the world.
