Dear All,
For those with cross-cutting interests in trafficking and modern slavery, please find CfP information through the below link for a scoping workshop in June 2018, London, entitled 'Modern Slavery, Environmental Destruction and Climate Change’.
In this scoping workshop our aim is to bring together academic researchers who are working at the interface of modern slavery, environmental destruction, and climate change. This is a new and rapidly evolving field of study that seeks to better understand the relationship between human and environmental (in)security. More details may be found here:

Our call for papers seeks cutting-edge research which explores environment-induced modern slavery and/or modern slavery-induced environmental destruction and climate change. We are also cognisant of their ‘deadly dance’ (Bales, 2016) in ways that transcend this binary distinction. The workshop is supported by the Office of the Independent Anti-Slavery Commissioner (IASC) and we are delighted that Professor of Contemporary Slavery, Kevin Bales CMG, will present a keynote.
Thank you and best wishes,
Laurie.
