ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

I am a person who loves to collaborate, so writing a monograph has been a major challenge. However, thankfully, over the years researching human trafficking, I’ve been blessed by working at various times with three wonderful collaborators—Deirdre Coghlan, Penny McRedmond and Eilís Ward. What I have learned from and with each of them informs much of the thinking in this book. But besides all I have learned from them, I am really fortunate that they are my friends. There is a wider circle of people I have met over the years who have contributed to the development of this book in many ways, through conference encounters, research projects, editorial work or just in telling conversations.
