Under development with Walk With Web Inc., this publication is based out of the Digital Slavery Resource Lab at the University of Colorado Boulder. Our international and interdisciplinary team engages with academics, independent researchers, and students of diverse cultural and religious backgrounds, gender orientation, and educational attainment. To observe best practices that underpin knowledge mobilization in the digital age, all researchers who are involved in any phase of this project are duly identified, suitably compensated for completed work whenever appropriate, and acknowledged through proper citations, notes, and acknowledgements within datasets, digital archiving, and secondary publications. Disseminating information follows Digital Accessibility Programs as per the Americans with Disabilities Act. For elsewhere in the world with unstable internet connectivity, this project strives to develop low-weight HTML, responsive versions for increased accessibility and usability.
