Description
Examine the complex and multifaceted topics of human trafficking, sex trades, and modern slavery in Europe. The city of Amsterdam will be your classroom, as sex workers, policymakers, healthcare professionals, and academics expose you to the historical, legal, and socio-political placement of both the mainstream and alternative sex industries. Interrogate the intersections of sex, gender, and human rights; race, colonialism, and the global economy; capitalism and labor exploitation; and discourses of public health, bodily and personal integrity, and state-sanctioned violence. You will also learn to critically consider and evaluate the methods and initiatives that exist to counter human trafficking in all its forms. While a special focus is placed on Amsterdam, including the highly contested future of the Red-Light District, you will apply a global lens when examining the evolving viewpoints and debates around sex work.
