My name is Bethany Jackson, I am a Senior Research Fellow in Modern Slavery and Sustainable Ecosystems at the Rights Lab, University of Nottingham - based out of the School of Geography - researching forms of contemporary slavery, its environmental impact and the industries in which these practices occur, using satellite imagery and other mixed-methods - predominantly survey data collection and qualitative coding. I have interest in human rights and I firmly believe utilising remotely sensed imagery combined with ground-based data is one way to advance our understanding of these abuses and prevent these issues from occurring in the first place. I am an avid reader of books, a feminist and a hopeful believer that we can help end contemporary slavery by 2030.
PhD Research
My work was funded by the Rights Lab, a Beacon of Excellence at the University of Nottingham that is aiming to achieved Sustainable Development Goal Target 8.7 to end forms of contemporary slavery by 2030 and child labour by 2025. My thesis was entitled: 'Slavery from Space: An analysis of the modern slavery-environmental degradation nexus using remote sensing data'.

I graduated with a PhD in Geography in July 2020.
Research Fellow Role
My work is based in the Rights Lab's 'Measurement and Geographies Programme' where we seek to understand the interconnected links between modern slavery, environmental degradation and climate changes across multiple sectors. Read my profile here!
I am also a member of the 'Remote Sensing and Photogrammetry Society' (RSPsoc) and the 'Antislavery Early Research Association' (Antislavery ERA) and you can read my profile on the site here!
I didn't think I would have a PhD but in the words of Amy Poehler if an opportunity comes along you have to say 'Yes Please!'
