Note: This class is an interdisciplinary problem solving class offered at the Law School through the Problem Solving Initiative (PSI). Forced labor is used to build and maintain physical structures. Leveraging an understanding of the role that exploited labor plays in such projects, students will apply features of index systems used in various other fields to develop indices that effectively measure how much forced labor is associated with a given construction project. Insights from law, business, policy, health sciences, and other fields will be applied. Multi-disciplinary student teams will learn from experts, conduct research, and harness problem solving tools to develop innovative and relevant solutions. This class is open to all University of Michigan graduate and professional students. Please note: Non-Law students are responsible for checking with their own schools, colleges, or units to learn if a PSI class will count toward graduation or other departmental requirements. Non-law graduate/professional students may apply for the course using the PSI application system (https://michigan.law.umich.edu/problem-solving-initiative) October 31 - November 13, 2022. After the initial application period, students seeking to apply can contact problemsolving@umich.edu.

Note: This class is an interdisciplinary problem solving class offered at the Law School through the Problem Solving Initiative (PSI). The Human Trafficking Lab is a social justice innovation space where multidisciplinary student teams use design thinking to research, incubate, and build replicable, scalable, and disruptive solutions to reduce vulnerability to trafficking. We believe the law is an incomplete, imperfect solution to reducing exploitation and that interdisciplinary, cross-industry collaboration is necessary. Thus, the Lab is geared towards creating systems level change at policy, service, and industry levels through collaborative partnerships across the nonprofit, corporate, and governmental sectors. This class is open to all University of Michigan graduate and professional students.
