Dr. Beutin’s research focuses on the racial politics of communication and social justice. Her first book, Trafficking in Antiblackness: Modern-Day Slavery, White Indemnity, and Racial Justice (Duke University Press, 2023), explores how campaigns against human trafficking use the memory of transatlantic slavery to reproduce antiblackness in the name of ending so-called “modern day slavery.” https://experts.mcmaster.ca/display/beutinl
