The Reality of Human Trafficking in the Era of Misinformation
An Online Roundtable Discussion
Download the flyer here!
Manipulative disinformation campaigns relying on social media have not only affected the very foundations of our political systems in recent years, but have also distorted our understanding of social issues, such as human trafficking. This round-table seeks to scrutinize the connections between the politics of information dissemination, large global patterns of anti-feminist oppression in the context of transnational labor and organized crime, and systemic genderized and race-based injustice in different criminal justice systems to cope with these challenges. Panelists including scholars from a variety of fields and disciplines share their views and reflect on how to best envision and implement strategies to address these repressive, power-driven institutional and cultural obstacles at home and abroad.
Panelists: Fawzia Afzal-Khan (Department of English), Bond Benton (School of Communication and Media), Sudeshna Chatterjee (University of Massachusetts Boston), Venezia Michalsen (Department of Justice Studies).
Moderator: Arnaud Kurze (Department of Justice Studies)
Registration is required for this event.

The Junior League of Montclair-Newark will present a panel discussion with one of the leading anti-human trafficking agencies’ in New Jersey- Covenant House New Jersey.
Identifying trafficking victims is a challenging process due to many factors, including the extreme trauma victims face. But identifying and providing services to victims as soon as possible is critical to begin the healing process for the inhuman terror the victims have endured. Covenant House New Jersey has not only recognized this modern- day tragedy, but also the urgent need to respond, support and protect these young people. In a truly dynamic show of love and compassion Covenant House New Jersey worked tirelessly to create both evidence-based approaches and groundbreaking research around victim identification and survivor support that is now recognized as a best practice in anti-human trafficking work in NJ and beyond.
We invite you to join us on Wednesday, January 20th at 7:30 p.m. for a zoom panel discussion to learn more about Covenant House of New Jersey’s important and impactful work in response to trafficking survivors. Register Today!
