Specific Course Topic: The Human Trafficking Lab is a social justice innovation space where multidisciplinary student teams use design thinking to research, incubate, and build replicable, scalable, and disruptive solutions to reduce vulnerability to trafficking. The Lab is geared towards creating systems level change at policy, service, and industry levels through collaborative partnerships across the nonprofit, corporate, and governmental sectors. The Winter 2024 course will focus on combating forced labor within the supply chain structure. We will engage with complex systems mapping platforms to do investigatory work related to the powerful and influential players in a supply chain. This is a great opportunity for students looking to get experience thinking outside of the box, working in teams, and contributing to tangible, real-world advocacy with our community partners.

Instructors: Elizabeth Campbell (Law), Chavi Nana (Law), Courtney Petersen (Law)
