- Postdoctoral Research Fellow, School of Government and International Relations, Griffith University
Dr Justine Honeybeer is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the School of International Relations and Government at Griffith University in Australia.
She recently completed her PhD thesis entitled “Taking Responsibility? A Critical Analysis of Fashion Companies’ Responses to the Australian Modern Slavery Act”. Her doctoral thesis was particularly interested in whether fashion companies were taking responsibility for their contribution to modern slavery risk, and whether the Australian Modern Slavery Act was motivating the corporate responsibility required to address modern slavery in fashion supply chains.
Dr Honeybeer has also worked on several projects investigating opportunities to improve working conditions in Australian cotton value chains, co-developing a model of investor activism in Australia, and analysing legislative protections for Australian garment workers. Justine is also a Research Associate at the University of Sydney investigating the intersection between modern slavery and climate change.
