SPRING 2015 Tue/Thu: 11.00-12.00 Instructor: Professor Orlando Patterson
Ethan Fosse: (efosse@fas.harvard.edu) Yun Zhou: (yunzhou@fas.harvard.edu) Carson Cook: (ccook@jd16.law.harvard.edu Note: Students may count this course towards the fulfillment of the following: (a) Ethnic Studies Secondary Field; (b) Global Health and Health Policy Secondary Field; and (c) the Core area requirement for Social Analysis when taken for a letter grade. Course Description This course surveys the nature, types and extent of modern servitude, distinguishing broadly between those resulting from international trafficking such as trans-national prostitution, human smuggling into bonded labor, child soldiering and organ trafficking, and more intra-national forms such as debt-bondage and the domestic exploitation of women and other vulnerable groups. Examines the conceptual and theoretical issues raised in attempts to distinguish these different modes of exploitation; the empirical difficulties of estimating the magnitude of what are inherently secretive processes; and the ideological controversies surrounding the subject. Explores ethical, socio- political and practical issues raised by these trends.
