DESCRIPTION:Dr. Elena Shih\n	Manning Assistant Professor of American Studies
  and Ethnic Studies at Brown University\n\nMarch 18th 2025\, 4PM EST\n	IGSF
 \, Seminar room\, 2nd floor\n	3487 Peel Street\n\nSex worker rescue program
 s have become a core focus of the global movement to combat human traffick
 ing. While these rehabilitation programs promise freedom from enslavement 
 and redemptive wages for former sex workers\, such organizations actually 
 propagate a moral economy of low-wage women’s work that obfuscates relatio
 ns of race\, gender\, national power\, and inequality. Manufacturing Freed
 om is an ethnographic exploration of two American organizations that offer
  vocational training in jewelry production to women migrants in China and 
 Thailand as a path out of sex work. In this innovative study\, Elena Shih 
 argues that anti-trafficking rescue and rehabilitation projects profit off
  persistent labor abuse of women workers and imagined by savvily marketed 
 narratives of redemption.\n\nThis event is co-sponsored by the Institute f
 or Gender\, Sexuality\, and Feminist Studies.\n
