Congratulations to Donna Sabella, PhD, Director of Global Studies and an assistant clinical professor of Nursing, who was recently named Managing Editor of The Journal of Human Trafficking. The international journal will be a new addition to the Routledge group (Taylor & Francis, Inc.) in 2015, and will be devoted to scholarship on “all issues related to trafficking in persons- from prevention and intervention, to protection and prosecution,” a statement from Routledge reads. A variety of disciplines will be represented in the submissions to The Journal of Human Trafficking, including but not limited to anthropology, criminology, family studies, social work, sociology, law, medicine, nursing and public health, psychology, and public policy. Four issues of The Journal of Human Trafficking will be published per year and the first volume is scheduled for publication in 2015.

In addition to her role as Director of Global Studies at the College of Nursing and Health Professions,  Sabella is additionally the Director of the Office of Human Trafficking at Drexel University. She is a former Program Director and founding member of Dawn’s Place, a residential recovery program for trafficked and prostituted women in Philadelphia, and is currently founder and Director of Project Pheonix, an outreach program that provides support and facilitates groups for prostituted and trafficked women in Philadelphia.
