Join us for this week’s CGHR Salon on Sex, Drugs and Mafioso: The rise of illicit economies in the wake of the refugee crisis. The discussion will be led by journalist Emily Kassie. Emily will discuss the transformations of networks, routes and economies and the subsequent heightened bleakness for those who fall victim to it. Emily will take us behind the scenes of the reporting process sharing obstacles, blunders and conclusions formed along the way. This work was culminated in a magazine feature for Highline, the Huffington Post’s investigation magazine, titled the 21st Century Goldrush. It recently won the national magazine award for multimedia story of the year.
