DESCRIPTION:A seminar with Kendra Strauss - Slavery Old and New: Labour Exp
 loitation Through the Ages and Around the Globe seminar series\nJoin us fo
 r a video-conference with Kendra Strauss\, Simon Fraser University\, hoste
 d by the Hans & Tamar Oppenheimer Chair in Public International Law\, the 
 Institute for Comparative Law\, and the Harriet Tubman Institute for Resea
 rch on Africa and its Diasporas.\nA light lunch will be served: kindly RSV
 P to oppenheimer [at] mcgill [dot] ca.\nAbstract\nThis talk will explore h
 ow feminist and legal geographical approaches to unfree labour – in partic
 ular forced labour and trafficking – unsettle and potentially enrich legal
  analyses of regulatory regimes. In it\, Kendra Strauss will explore two d
 imensions of unfreedom in contemporary labour markets that have received l
 ess attention than issues of implementation and enforcement.\nFirst\, she 
 will examine how jurisdiction constructs\, and is produced by\, socio-spat
 ial processes that are more-than-territorial\, and which normatively shape
  what counts as work and who counts as a worker. Second\, she will apply t
 hese insights to an examination of how climate change\, as a set of proces
 ses that overflow state boundaries and produce localized\, material vulner
 abilities to forced labour and trafficking\, might problematize approaches
  that posit de-territorialization as the solution to jurisdictional conund
 rums.\nKendra Strauss is Associate Member of the Simon Fraser University D
 epartment of Geography and Assistant Professor at the Labour Studies Progr
 am & The Morgan Centre for Labour Research. Her work focuses on occupation
 al pensions\; precarious work\, migration and unfree labour\; and on theor
 izing the relationships between production and social reproduction in cont
 emporary capitalist economies.\n
