In this course, we will examine the abuse of vulnerable populations for commercial gain. We will analyze the dynamics of the relationships between domestic and foreign migrant labor, global/local supply chains and capital markets, emerging corporate accountability, civil society, organized crime, government policy, and the legal frameworks that continue to allow exploitation to occur and thrive. We will also understand the nature of the abuse and methods of exploitation. Finally, we will consider potential changes needed to alter the relationships within the system in favor of protection and compensation of the vulnerable. Throughout the course, we will examine important system framing perspectives such as wicked problems, complex adaptive systems, and design thinking.
