The 18-credit Human Trafficking Studies minor offers courses in global and regional perspectives, psychological perspectives, international social issues, and more, with opportunities for internships, independent studies and seminars. As part of the Political Science program, this minor is a cross-disciplinary effort that draws on faculty with a background in human trafficking studies from other fields such as psychology, social work, sociology, and history.
“The classes are meant to foster critical thinking and introduce students to key issues and practices which impact human trafficking work while preparing students to be good, collaborative partners with those outside of their primary field of study. Focusing on anti-trafficking efforts is in line with Wesleyan principles and history, where seeking justice for the oppressed is encouraged as an expression of holiness.”
