The research was funded through an Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) studentship. It focuses on two very current issues: reshoring and modern slavery, which are attracting growing interest from researchers, practitioners and government alike.
Dr Benstead, a Lecturer in Fashion Management in The University of Manchester's Department of Materials, also recently received an IJOPM award for one of the papers from her thesis.
Journal articles from the thesis appear on the SpringerLink and Emerald Insight websites.
