Human Trafficking and Forced Labor: Challenges and Opportunities in Combatting a Global Phenomenon: Thursday, September 21, 2023 Poetry Center, 73 Tremont Street, Second Floor, Boston, MA 02108 Human Trafficking and Forced Labor: Challenges and Opportunities in Combatting a Global Phenomenon: A talk by internationally acclaimed

Human Trafficking and Forced Labor: Challenges and Opportunities in Combating a Global Phenomenon:

A talk by internationally acclaimed scholar Hila Shamir, S.J.D., Tel Aviv University Faculty of Law and Fellow, Center for Labor & A Just Economy at Harvard Law School

Human trafficking is widely regarded as one of the most urgent moral and political dilemmas in today's global economy. In her talk, Professor Shamir will call for a shift away from the prevailing anti-trafficking strategies focused on criminal law, border control, and minimal human rights safeguards for recognized victims. Instead, she will advocate for an innovative labor-centered approach, aiming to dismantle the labor market structures conducive to grave exploitative practices. The labor-focused approach stresses the necessity of solutions tailored to the contextual variability of factors contributing to worker vulnerability. Certain existing tools show initial promise in reshaping the power dynamics among actors within sectors predisposed to severe labor market abuses. Following her talk, Shamir will be joined by Renée M. Landers, Professor of Law and Faculty Director of the Health and Biomedical Law Concentration at Suffolk University. Audience Q and A will follow.

Reimagining Shakespeare through the Black Lens

Join us for a spirited conversation with Stevie Walker Webb, acclaimed Tony-nominated director of Ain't No Mo, actor, activist, and director of the play Fat Ham, Dawn M. Simmons, Associate Director of Fat Ham and Co-Producing Director of The Front Porch Arts Collective, and Regine Vital, theatre artist, educator, and Actors’ Shakespeare Project Associate Producer. The evening’s moderator is Pascale Florestal, Education Director and Associate Producer, The Front Porch Arts Collective, and Visiting Guest Artist Professor in Practice, Suffolk University.

The evening’s panel will discuss the evolution of Shakespeare’s work and how race and other intersections influence these stories and reflect on the world today. The panel will explore fresh new perspectives and distinct voices offered in two upcoming Boston theater productions, Fat Ham and The Taming of the Shrew.
Fat Ham, a Huntington Theatre production in partnership with Front Porch Art Collective and Alliance Theater, is a Pulitzer Prize-winning new play that is a smart and sharp reinvention of Shakespeare’s masterpiece which took Broadway by storm this spring.
In The Taming of the Shrew, premiering at the Modern Theatre this fall, Artistic Director Christopher Edwards and the talented cast turn this beloved play inside out, flip it upside down and stretch it to the limits in a way that only Actors’ Shakespeare Project can—to find what truly sits at the heart of this hilarious and contentious comedy. Audience Q and A will follow this moderated conversation.

For June 10th, Saturday at 3pm, prior to the performance, there is an exclusive opportunity to meet with the show's creators and stars as part of the FORD HALL FORUM discussion series at the Modern Theatre, 525 Washington Street, Boston, 02111, this is free and open to the public.
