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.ca.\nAbstract\nThis talk will explore how fem
 inist and legal geographical approaches to unfree labour – in particular f
 orced labour and trafficking – unsettle and potentially enrich legal analy
 ses of regulatory regimes. In it\, Kendra Strauss will explore two dimensi
 ons of unfreedom in contemporary labour markets that have received less at
 tention than issues of implementation and enforcement.\nFirst\, she will e
 xamine how jurisdiction constructs\, and is produced by\, socio-spatial pr
 ocesses that are more-than-territorial\, and which normatively shape what 
 counts as work and who counts as a worker. Second\, she will apply these i
 nsights to an examination of how climate change\, as a set of processes th
 at overflow state boundaries and produce localized\, material vulnerabilit
 ies to forced labour and trafficking\, might problematize approaches that 
 posit de-territorialization as the solution to jurisdictional conundrums.
 \nKendra Strauss is Associate Member of the Simon Fraser University Depart
 ment of Geography and Assistant Professor at the Labour Studies Program & 
 The Morgan Centre for Labour Research. Her work focuses on occupational pe
 nsions\; precarious work\, migration and unfree labour\; and on theorizing
  the relationships between production and social reproduction in contempor
 ary capitalist economies.\n
