The course will incorporate discussion concerning the current state of modern slavery research in addition to challenges associated with research in this area which include data collection, censorship, clash of cultures, ethics and researcher and participant safety. The European situation will be introduced via insight from a recent PhD study which has since been turned into a cutting-edge documentary. You will learn about the latest debates being introduced in modern slavery research and, finally, you will be given an opportunity to share your own thoughts about how your discipline and experience in academia and/or practice might be harnessed to extend research in this area of increasing societal importance.
