WOMS 369 - The Social Construction of Sex Trafficking

Institution:

University of Delaware

Subject:

Womens Studies

Description:

Sex trafficking has emerged as an issue of tremendous popular and political concern, both in the US and globally. In this course, we examine what it means for an issue such as sex trafficking to be "socially constructed." Specifically, we use a gender perspective to investigate the practices and politics surrounding sex trafficking, paying particular attention to the consequences of gendered and racialized conceptualizations of work, migration, exploitation, and victimhood.
