Around 3.3 million young people are trafficked worldwide, with over half subjected to sexual exploitation (Data and Research on Forced Labour, 2024). However, little research exists on the role of school-based educators in learning about, preventing, and identifying human trafficking. This study examines educators’ knowledge of trafficking both locally and globally. Grounded in critical anti-trafficking frameworks, Schulman’s (1987) framework of teachers’ knowledge, and Bronfenbrenner and Cici’s (1994) Bioecological Model, the study surveyed 205 educators in Central Florida in the United States. Findings show that over 60% had received no training on human trafficking, while 24.3% of those who had training were uncertain about how to report trafficking cases. Educators also expressed a desire for more school-based training and professional development. Implications suggest using critical, pedagogical approaches like Ginwright’s (2018) healing-centred engagement to enhance educators’ understanding and help deter global trafficking networks.

While pervasive through much of Cuban society, underground economies take on special significance within the LGBTQI+ community. Not only must we engage in deep contextualization and seek vernacular theorization within everyday life, but we must also consider queer timelines – queer temporalities as part of any analysis while simultaneously abandoning Global North identity categories as they relate to Global South performances. This essay is part of a larger project – a critical queer ethnography of Cuban everyday life – however with a focus on the negotiations of ethics, relationships, and community as a means of survival for individuals who are largely invisible to broader society. Though erased, ignored, and hidden, these individuals share universal characteristics which we must not exoticize in relation to our own experiences: food, sex, and housing are fundamental elements to life, regardless of privilege or legality.

Despite his lukewarm reaction to Léon Lemonnier's movement, André Baillon was — and still is — frequently branded as a populist, especially after his death. One may be surprised to observe how those same traits that prompt some critics to brand Baillon a populist compel others to label him a regionalist or a proponent of the proletarian literature. While such conflicting descriptions undoubtedly shed little light on Baillon, they speak volumes on the ambiguous nature of these literary movements. Furthermore, such conflicting labels are also to blame for the post-Second World War sinking of the Belgian novelist's works into oblivion.

AbstractLélia is a character whose existence, according to George Sand, was « tout à fait impossible… à force de vouloir être abstraite et symbolique », but who nonetheless proved to be a figure with a rich literary destiny. Violently attacked by certain critics, just as ardently admired by enthusiastic female readers, she exerted a great fascination in the cultural sphere of her time. Barbey d'Aurevilly will pay tribute to her in his short story of 1840, « L'amour impossible ». And Balzac will be inspired by her as he creates « the greatest writer of the Comédie humaine », Camille Maupin.
