Human Trafficking in Los Angeles: Denise Brennan

The University of California Institute for Research in the Arts and the UCLA Center for the Study of Women presented a symposium on "Human Trafficking in Los Angeles: Local Discussions and New Collaborative Directions in Anti-Trafficking Work and Research" at UCLA's Royce Hall, Room 314 on May 14, 2010 from 9am to 4pm. The symposium brought together scholars, students, professional advocates, activists, and artists in Southern California to discuss regional trends, collaborative interventions, and artistic responses to human trafficking for the purposes of forced labor. Organized around structured conversations and panel discussions, this event provides a platform to reflect upon the multi-professional, cross-institutional relationships that have been forged to respond to human trafficking in Los Angeles and questions recent trends in identifying and protecting trafficked persons and researching the issue. This event was funded through support from University of California Institute for Research in the Arts and was cosponsored by the UCLA Center for the Study of Women, the UCLA Department of Women's Studies, and the UCLA Anti-Trafficking and Human Rights Coalition Student Group. It featured representatives from the LA Metro Task Force on Human Trafficking and the Coalition to Abolish Slavery and Trafficking.
