PROJECT UPDATE Following our successful Symposium in September, at which we shared our findings and hosted prominent researchers, practitioners and experts, we set about working on our other planned avenues of dissemination for our research into the representation of transnational human trafficking. Our efforts soon bore fruit: in November we were offered a book contract by Palgrave. We are very pleased to have been awarded additional funding by ESRC to publish this Palgrave Pivot book Open Access. Open Access will no doubt increase its impact and outreach to a wider audience of readers, which we consider to be very important and at the heart of our project's rationale. Our book is entitled Representations of Transnational Human Trafficking: Present-day News Media, True Crime, and Fiction . It is a collection of essays by project investigators Dr Christiana Gregoriou, Dr Charlotte Beyer, Dr Melissa Dearey, and Dr Nina Muždeka and research assistant Dr Ilse Ras. The
