ASC Panels, 2008

Paper and presenters are sought for the following topics. Deadline for submissions is March 14th.

As many of you know, the deadline for abstract submissions for the upcoming ASC Annual Meeting is Friday, March 14th. That means that it is time now to begin soliciting papers for the 6th annual panel on Teaching Race, Class, and Gender, co-sponsored by the DWC, the DPCC, and, in recent years, the DIC.

If you would be interested in presenting a paper on this panel, please respond to this message and provide me with:

Your name
The title of your paper
A brief description of your paper topic

As in years past, I will do my best to select papers that complement each other while addressing a range of issues. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to email me at burges26@msu.edu.

Thanks,
Amanda Burgess-Proctor

U.S. Trafficking Policy

Recent developments in U.S. trafficking policy reauthorization make me want to speak critically about conflating trafficking/prostitution and trafficking/organized crime. Is anyone interested in being on a panel on human trafficking? I would be especially interested in getting people together to talk about trafficking for other forms of labor than sex work since it is so hard to find good scholarship on that, immigration policies that push women into high risk for trafficking, unintended consequences of policy etc.

Any takers? I’ll submit the panel if I can wrangle enough of us.

Best,
