This webinar forms part of the Research Integrity Week

Target Audience: Postgraduate Researchers, ECRs and Staff

Description: 

The Rights Lab is home to the world's leading modern slavery experts and have built a large-scale research platform for ending slavery. Through their five research programmes, they deliver new and cutting-edge research that provides rigorous data, evidence and discoveries for the global antislavery effort.

This session will introduce some of the work undertaken by the Rights Lab researchers and some of the ethical dilemmas they have encountered and how they addressed them. Includes a Q&A session at the end.

Dr Andrea Nicholson

Andrea is a Nottingham Research Fellow in the Rights Lab and School of Politics & International Relations. Her research focuses on survivor narratives, recovery and support frameworks, specifically looking at survivor participation in policy and legislation, and survivors’ experiences of support services in and out of central support frameworks. She has undertaken research in the fields of human rights and modern slavery for over 16 years, first in law and now more aligned to development studies, working closely with survivors and non-governmental organisations.

Dr Jess Sparks

Jess is a Nottingham Research Fellow and the Associate Director of the Rights Lab’s Ecosystems and the Environment Programme. Her research focuses on conceptualizing and quantifying the processes and interconnections that facilitate a modern slavery – environmental degradation – climate change nexus, specifically looking at the multidirectional relationships between fish stock declines and labour exploitation, including forced labour. She has worked in the labour and human rights fields for over 15 years, first as a social worker and now as a researcher, and has previously served on institutional research ethics committees in the United States.
