Alicia Peters presents at Annual Meeting of the American Anthropological Association

Alicia Peters, Ph.D., assistant professor in the Department of Society, Culture, & Languages, presented a paper at the 112th Annual Meeting of the American Anthropological Association (AAA), held in Chicago, Illinois, on November 22, 2013.

“Transgressing ‘The Typical’: Re-Claiming the Human Trafficking Narrative,” explored the ways survivor narratives call into question assumptions about the privileged position of “sex trafficking” and reveal the aspects of trafficking that survivors, themselves, assign the greatest meaning, transgressing notions of the “typical” trafficking victim.
