The seminar will critically examine how the trafficking victim has been constructed, highlight key assumptions in the discourse of trafficking and outline the surrounding philosophical and definitional problems.
Based on analysis of trafficking narratives published in NGO research, media reports and popular books, Dr Sandy’s in-depth research observes the trafficking story as it is told in and about Cambodia and the ‘myth’ that lies at the core.
By closely examining the role of trafficking narratives in determining interventions and shaping understandings, this seminar goes beyond the myth to examine how and why the story is created and crafted in anti-trafficking campaigns and for what purposes. |
