---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: jeroen <[email protected]> Date: Mon, Feb 1, 2016 at 8:19 AM Subject: Fwd: e-syllabus on forced labor To: Karin Astrid Siegmann <[email protected]>, [email protected] Dear all, This e-syllabus on forced labor might might be of use. available at: http://cameronthibos.com/bts/BTS-2-Global-Economy.pdf below a short introduction Best wishes, Jeroen -- Activists, academics, trade unions, governments and NGOs around the world are trying to both understand and address forced labour, human trafficking, and modern slavery. The European Union has recently adopted a new strategy, which will be overseen by the EU’s Anti-Trafficking Coordinator. This new strategy has seen a wave of new initiatives designed to combat these practices. However, the frequently poor track record of past efforts in this area means that there is an urgent need for both additional research and further conversations regarding the best pathways forward. With labour exploitation and inequality on the rise, and debates over migration intensifying, high-level policy debates regarding forced labour, trafficking, and slavery can be expected to continue for the foreseeable future. Beyond Trafficking and Slavery seeks to constructively influence these debates by bringing together the best available research, and by both formulating and evaluating the merits of competing proposals for reform. In addition, we also aim to inform a new wave of scholars, policy-makers, and practitioners who are currently making their way through school systems and universities around the world. Our approach combines the rigour of academic scholarship, the clarity of journalism, and the immediacy of political advocacy in order to address the political, economic, and social root causes of exploitation, vulnerability, and forced labour around the world. With the BTS Short Course, we have re-edited our publications from the past 18 months into the world’s first open access ‘e-syllabus’ on forced labour, trafficking, and slavery. With 167 contributions from 150 top academics and practitioners, this 900-page, eight-volume set is packed with insights from the some of the best and most progressive scholarship and activism currently available. We have made this free for download, as well as print and classroom ready, with the goal of reaching not only practitioners and students in the global north, but to also reach readers working in organisations and institutions unable to pay for expensive academic journal and subscription services. 1.
