Anti-requisite(s): 76034 Law of Slavery and Human Trafficking AND 78223 Law of Slavery and Human Trafficking

Description

Slavery, servitude, forced labour, forced marriage and human trafficking (slavery and human trafficking) are transnational crimes. This subject comprehensively explains and evaluates international and domestic responses to slavery and human trafficking and within an international law and human rights framework. While the subject addresses international law, it does so with an appreciation of the practical application of the law. The subject draws students to a critical evaluation of the state's responsibility to protect and support, and develop effective criminal justice responses. Areas covered include: the legal definitions; the international legal framework; the intersection between migrant worker exploitation, slavery and trafficking; the gender implications of slavery; trafficking and refugee law; and trafficking as a crime against humanity. State responsibility at international law is reviewed to develop a sound knowledge of the state's obligations to protect and support as well as to promote the application of effective remedies. An effective domestic and international criminal justice response is critical in the development of a framework to prevent trafficking and ensure prosecution of transnational crimes. The dimension of slavery and trafficking – the link between such transnational crimes, economic opportunities, substandard working conditions and migration – is explored. Vulnerability to trafficking, the issues of demand and the supply chain, and corruption are addressed, as well as compliance standards, monitoring mechanisms and the role of civil society. The subject concludes with consideration of a body of international literature which is critical to the implementation of anti-trafficking measures.

At the end of the subject, students are expected to have a deep understanding of the principles of international law and their application within the Australian domestic context. Students also gain sophisticated insight and understanding of the application of international law through a comprehensive evaluation of selected areas of law.

Subject learning objectives (SLOs)

Upon successful completion of this subject students should be able to:

1. Identify, analyse and evaluate social and legal contexts underpinning slavery and human trafficking, to identify international obligations to prevent trafficking and protect those trafficked;
2. Demonstrate knowledge of international and domestic legal definitions, legal frameworks, international obligations, State responses to slavery and human trafficking and the characteristics of an effective criminal justice response;
3. Demonstrate a sophisticated understanding of slavery and human trafficking in the modern world, to develop the ability to formulate workable responses to prevent trafficking, protect those trafficked and appreciate the role of multilateral and bilateral agreements in the development of criminal justice frameworks.

Teaching and learning strategies

Strategy 1: Learning through preparation and content engagement
Students will be required to complete preparatory tasks prior to the first face-to-face class. Students are expected to complete readings prior to class and to contribute to the discussion board in a professional and collegial way. Preparation prior to class will enable students to participate in lectures. Discussions online will give students formative feedback from their peers as to their ideas and understanding.

Strategy 2: Learning through engagement in lectures

Students engage in lectures which introduce, explain and develop knowledge, and outline major concepts, theories and principles of the Law of Slavery and Human Trafficking. Guest lecturers may be invited to contribute practical and international expertise, providing context as to the real-world complexity of this area of law. This allows students to gain a strong foundation in major theoretical principles, complemented by a practitioner’s view of how the law is applied.

Strategy 3: Active seminar engagement and leadership through presentation

Students will be encouraged to critically evaluate contentious issues in the Law of Slavery and Human Trafficking through collaborative engagement with peers during class discussion. In addition, students take ownership over their own learning by leading the class through deep analysis of a specific sub-topic (Assessment task 3).

Strategy 4: Planning, feedback and independent research / writing

Students are introduced to formal research methods through research and submission of an abstract (Assessment task 1) and research essay (Assessment task 2). This approach mirrors the experience of professional academic researchers and prepares students to actively contribute and develop an existing body of knowledge. By receiving early feedback regarding their research abstract, students are able to develop their research and writing skills, critical analysis and reflective learning.

Class presentations will develop students’ theoretical and practical understanding of the subject.

Strategy 5: Feedback

Feedback is essential to improving the student experience, and is provided in this subject through early feedback and consistent seminar leader feedback through active engagement in class discussion. Early feedback is provided by way of a short abstract (Assessment task 1), which encourages students to reflect upon their approach and improve prior to submitting the research essay (Assessment task 2). Feedback for abstracts will be provided by the lecturer and peers. In addition, students can monitor their progress throughout the session through discussions online and in class.
