Sex Trafficking in the U.S.: Researching Vulnerable Populations 2012 Interdisciplinary Conference

Here is an announcement for the 2012 Interdisciplinary Conference on Sex Trafficking in the U.S.

The conference will be held at Oregon State University on February 16-18, 2012.

The conference theme, “Vulnerable Populations,” focuses attention those who are at most risk for sex trafficking. The organizers are especially interested in research that examines risks, experiences, consequences, and interventions of sex trafficking across differences of race/ethnicity, nation of origin, socioeconomic class, sexual and gender identities, ability, and age. They encourage submissions that (1) examine issues of trafficking of ethnic minority women in the United States and trafficking of rural women and/or in rural areas; and (2) examine methodological and ethical issues of research on trafficking.  Here is the call for proposals.
