Ellen Kennedy, executive director of World Without Genocide, will give a lecture titled

"Human Trafficking in the 21st Century" on Wednesday, April 8, as part of the Great

Decisions lecture series. Kennedy will discuss the various treaties and laws in place to

prevent human trafficking and examine the roots of the problems that allow widespread

human trafficking to occur in the first place.

The lecture will take place at 7:30 p.m. in the Fort Howard Theater of the F. K. Bemis

International Center on the St. Norbert College campus. General admission is $5 at the

door.

Kennedy's lecture is the sixth installment in the 2015 Great Decisions series, a nationwide

program meant to bring together local, regional and national experts to discuss various

issues of international interest. The eight-part lecture series is presented on Wednesdays

starting in February and running through April. St. Norbert College is one of three

institutions of higher learning in Wisconsin that offers the entire series. Great Decisions is

sponsored by the St. Norbert College Center for International Education (CIE).
