2 YOUR TASK Research proposal an introduction a literature review research design & method … use at least 10 scholarly articles How to find… background information scholarly articles info on research methodology OUR AGENDA

3 A literature review… Summarizes related studies and tries to makes sense of the pattern of findings. It draws conclusions about what is known, what is not, and what should be. (adapted from SFU Library website) LITERATURE REVIEW

4 From Denton’s Literature Review (20 pgs) In 1904, the first modern response to the new slave trade, the International Agreement for the Suppression of the White Slave Traffic, was created (Friman & Reich, 2007). … … the current, relatively accepted definition of trafficking describes a wide range of activities (Bruckert & Parent, 2002; O’Connell, Davidson & Donelan in Laczko & Gramegna, 2003). The trafficking of humans is not one single activity…. While Andrees (2005) considers the use of media and secondary sources a cause for concern, others (e.g., Dottridge, 2002), see the use of media as a means to gain access to a field of study that is notoriously difficult to infiltrate…. Rather than separating the forced prostitution and sexual exploitation literature from human trafficking, much of the literature muddles the two together….
