My research takes place at the intersection of critical migration studies and analyses of anti-trafficking. I will research the diverse array of policies, initiatives and campaigns set up by organisations as different as NGOs, trade unions, social responsibility offices of agribusiness companies, governments, and police force, that share the stated aim of fighting against caporalato, which is the “gangmaster system” that is allegedly responsible for the terrible living and working conditions of migrant farmworkers in the South of Italy.
