Queer Theory and Counter-Human Trafficking Work

This podcast is a discussion of a journal article that applies Queer Theory to counter-human trafficking work and a subsequent webinar featuring the article and one of the authors. Queer Theory is a branch of Critical Social Justice and I explain some of the basic tenets of it and how it is applied in this article. The goal is to help people recognize and understand Queer Theory in the context of counter-trafficking work, at least through the lens of this paper.  Schwarz C, Britton H.
