Trafficking, smuggling, and illicit migration in gendered and historical perspective, c. 1870-2000

This project will investigate illicit migration and trafficking in the 19th and 20th centuries from a global perspective. The team will collaborate to produce a comparative study of trafficking and clandestine migration in the British and Russian empires. A digital collaboration project will bring together historians studying trafficking, smuggling and illicit migration in other areas of the world. The project¡¯s collaborative nature will allow researchers to explore methodological questions including: how can we write a collaborative global history of trafficking that also captures national, local and individual factors, and how can we develop lasting collaborations between those who research the history of trafficking around the globe?
