Point of Departure: Life after Human Trafficking in Western EuropePhD grant awarded by the Danish Social Science Research CouncilSine Plambech has received grants from the Danish Social Science Research Council and the Dean’s Fellowship at The New School for Social Research in New York to undertake a Ph.D. research project, which will examine the process of return and reintegration of female victims of trafficking. Migrants returning from exploitative conditions often face countless difficulties, in particular lack of employment, undiscovered HIV, stigma and re-trafficking. The project focuses on the return and reintegration of female victims of trafficking (primarily sex workers returning from Northern European countries) and explores return and reintegration as perceived and practiced by the migrants themselves, migrant households and international organizations. The main objectives of the project are to obtain new knowledge within the field of return and reintegration of victims of trafficking, to help counter re-trafficking and to contribute theoretically to our understanding of humanitarian aid and global marginalities. During her Ph.D. project, Sine will be based within the Migration Unit at DIIS and will be enrolled as a Ph.D. Candidate at the New School for Social Research, Department of Anthropology in New York. Sine holds a BA in Social Anthropology and Development Studies and MA in Social Anthropology from Lund University and University of California. Her academic involvement has been within the fields of migration, gender, trafficking and sex work, particularly in Southeast Asia, Denmark and North America. She has been lecturing and writing extensively and worked as a consultant on documentary films and for UN/International Labour Organization, Bangkok. |
