New Director Announced for the Global Center on Human Trafficking

We are excited to announce Dr. Daniela Peterka-Benton as the new Director of the Global Center on Human Trafficking. 彼得卡-本顿博士在高等教育领域拥有超过十年的研究和教育经验，重点关注人口贩运、人口走私和网络极端主义等跨国犯罪。 Since 2022, she has served as the Academic Director of the Global Center on Human Trafficking, coordinating research, education, and student engagement efforts. A founding member of MIGHT (Montclair Interest Group on Human Trafficking), Dr. Peterka-Benton holds a doctorate in Sociology/Criminology and an M.Ed. in Adult and Media Education from The University of Vienna, Austria, as well as an M.Sc. in Criminal Justice from The University of Cincinnati.

We also extend our heartfelt thanks to Ali Boak, the inaugural Director of the Global Center on Human Trafficking. Ali’s foundational work over the past three years has been instrumental in the Center’s development. She is now moving on to become the Executive Director of Lifeway. We are grateful for her contributions and wish her the best in her new role. Thank you for your continued support of the Global Center on Human Trafficking. We look forward to new opportunities and successes under Dr. Peterka-Benton’s leadership.
