Embedded in the Centre are four PhD students, carrying out research in various topics including gender-based violence in IDP camps in Nigeria, sexual exploitation of children in the Philippines, youth’s perceptions of modern slavery and media discourses on irregular migrants in the UK.
The Centre has established an MA in Human trafficking, Migration and Organised Crime which will enter its sixth year in September 2021. This unique postgraduate programme offers UK and international students the opportunity to study modern slavery and human trafficking from a wide and interdisciplinary perspective. Many graduates of this course continue to work in the field of modern slavery, and increasingly constitute a network of ‘agents for change’.
This Master's-level CPD Module: Identification, Support and Care of Victims of Modern-day Slavery (funded by the Albert Gubay Charitable Foundation) has been developed with consultation and input from expert practitioners in the field.
