Student learning goals
1) Students will understand the scope, scale, and complex dynamics of human trafficking.
2) Students will be equipped to assess the current state of anti-human trafficking efforts with appreciation for the difficulty of such efforts, and to begin strategizing more and better ways to combat human trafficking.
General method of instruction
These learning objectives for this course will be accomplished through a) the reading, written analysis of, and in-class discussion of relevant texts produced by concerned government bodies and nongovernmental organizations as well as scholars; b) visits by local experts representing local and/or national law enforcement, providers of services to trafficking victims, and community organizers; c) written analyses of case studies and a research paper on a particular aspect of the problem of human trafficking and/or efforts to combat it; d) completion of a service learning assignment. There will be a few small quizzes on key terms/concepts, but no midterm or final exam.
