Extract
In 2015, I was fortunate to receive a British Academy Rising Star Engagement Award (BARSEA) from the British Academy for the Humanities and Social Sciences. Using funding from my award, I hosted a two-day symposium at the University of Sheffield in October 2015 titled ‘Challenges in Researching the Shadow Economy: A Methods Symposium on Forced Labour’. This symposium gathered together an interdisciplinary group of scholars at the forefront of empirical research on forced labour as well as experts from the International Labour Organization and Anti-Slavery International to tackle the methodological challenges that stand in the way of building a reliable, robust and ethically sound knowledge base on the business of forced labour. The idea for this volume surfaced from these discussions, after which I held a second workshop at the British Academy in London in October 2016 to harmonise and finalise the book.
A host of friends and colleagues encouraged and supported me during the BARSEA project and this book’s development. Andrew Gamble served as Fellow of the British Academy Champion for my BARSEA and my mentor for its duration; his faith in my abilities and advice on the early development of this volume were crucial for getting it off the ground. I am grateful to Nicola Phillips, Andrew Crane, Jean Allain, Tony Payne, Stephen Farrall, Jane Lister and Peter Dauvergne for their expert advice and helpful conversations. I am grateful to the Special Action Programme to Combat Forced Labour at the International Labour Organization in Geneva – particularly Beate Andrees, Jean-Marie Kagabo, Michaëlle de Cock and Caroline O’Reilly – for their involvement in my BARSEA project.
