Prabha Kotiswaran, University of London

Prabha Kotiswaran

Prabha is a Senior Lecturer in Law at the School of Oriental and African Studies at the University of London. She received her undergraduate law degree in India from the National Law School of India University, Bangalore and then LL.M. (Masters) and S.J.D. (doctorate) degrees from Harvard Law School. She also practiced law for four years at the New York law firm of Debevoise and Plimpton. Prabha’s main areas of research include feminist legal theory, law and social movements and of late, an economic sociology of law as it pertains to third world cities. At SOAS, she teaches Criminal Law, Feminist Legal Theory, Law and Social Movements and Law and Society in South Asia. She is recently the author of Dangerous Sex, Invisible Labor: Sex Work and the Law in India, published by Princeton University Press (2011) and co-published by Oxford University Press, India (2011). This book offers a feminist rethinking of the normative status of sex work drawing on field work in two Indian sex industries and an exploratory analysis of the economic impact on these markets of various models of legal regulation including decriminalization, abolition and legalization. Dangerous Sex, Invisible Labor recently won the SLSA-Hart Book Prize for Early Career Academics. She has also edited a reader on Sex Work published by Women Unlimited (2011) for a Series on Issues in Contemporary Indian Feminism. Both books were funded by the AHRC. Arising from advocacy related work in this context, Prabha is also interested in theories of law and social movements in the postcolonial context. Drawing on this research, Prabha is working on a critique of contemporary anti-trafficking law and on a book-length work analyzing the legal regulation of markets in social reproduction from a feminist perspective. She is currently co-organising with her colleagues, Amanda Perry-Kessaris and Diamond Ashiagbor a workshop titled Towards an Economic Sociology of Law to be held at SOAS in September 2012 based on which they will co-edit special issues of the Journal of Law and Society and of the international Journal of Law in Context (2013).

Carole S. Vance, Columbia University

Carole S. Vance, PhD, works on integrating sexuality with human rights frameworks and rights-based health interventions. She has written widely on sexuality, science, gender, and policy; policy controversies about sexual expression and imagery; and sexuality theory and research methods. For the past ten years, she has directed a program on sexuality, gender, health and human rights, which advances policy-relevant scholarship and facilitates exchange between researchers and advocates on sexual health and rights issues. Dr. Vance has extensive experience in training students from developing countries, particularly on research methods in sexuality, and the practical application of sexuality research in a range of cultural, national, and policy contexts. Dr. Vance currently is involved in research on trafficking into forced prostitution, also known as sex trafficking, with particular focus on the ways in which ethnographic research can inform policy, as well as health and rights interventions. Dr. Vance edited the landmark collection, Pleasure and Danger: Exploring Female Sexuality, and is completing the edited volume, Ethnography and Policy: What Do We Know about Trafficking? with publication in 2007. In 2005, Dr. Vance received the David R. Kessler Award for lifetime contributions to studies of sexuality.

Vandenberg has spent nearly two decades fighting human trafficking, forced labor, rape as a war crime, and violence against women. Vandenberg has represented victims of human trafficking pro bono in immigration, criminal, and civil cases. Widely regarded as an expert on an array of human rights issues, she has testified before the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Human Rights and the Law, the Helsinki Commission, the House Foreign Affairs Committee, and the House Armed Services Committee. A former Human Rights Watch researcher, she spearheaded investigations into human rights violations in the Russian Federation, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Uzbekistan, Kosovo, Israel, and Ukraine, and authored the first published report documenting human trafficking in Israel. She is the author of two Human Rights Watch reports, “Hopes Betrayed: Trafficking of Women and Girls to Post-Conflict Bosnia & Herzegovina for Forced Prostitution,” and “Kosovo: Rape as a Weapon of ‘Ethnic Cleansing.’ ” While living in the Russian Federation, she co-founded Syostri, one of Russia’s first rape crisis centers for women.

Vandenberg established The Human Trafficking Pro Bono Legal Center in 2012 with generous support from the Open Society Foundations (OSF) Fellowship Program. Before she became an OSF Fellow, Vandenberg was a partner at Jenner & Block LLP, where she focused on complex commercial litigation and internal investigations under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. She served as a senior member of the firm’s Pro Bono Committee. She received the 2006 Albert E. Jenner, Jr. Pro Bono Award for her successful representation of trafficking victims in United States federal courts and her advocacy before Congress.

As pro bono advocacy counsel to the Freedom Network USA, Vandenberg received the Paul and Sheila Wellstone Award for her “outstanding leadership and dedication in working to combat human trafficking and slavery in the United States.” A Rhodes Scholar and Truman Scholar, Vandenberg has also taught as adjunct faculty at the American University Washington College of Law.
