Open Discussion #1: Victimization vs. Agency

Thursday, February 12th, 3:30 pm
Russel Building Room 29

Agency refers to someone's ability or capacity to enact a decision he/she's made.
The purpose of this meeting is to explore the common conception of trafficking persons as 'victims', and to discuss the notion of 'choice'. To what extent are these individuals shaping their own destinies? Is it possible to choose to be exploited? What does exploitation mean anyway? we look forward to a lively debate!
