This interactive lecture explores how art and participatory mapping can reveal hidden systems of exploitation in global supply chains. Drawing from human rights research and artistic practice, we’ll visualize the complex ecosystem that enables modern slavery to persist despite corporate sustainability claims. 

Through creative mapping exercises, participants will identify “wicked patterns” of injustice and potential intervention points. Join us to discover how making the invisible visible can transform our understanding of global supply chains and empower meaningful action.

Speaker
Jeannie Morgan

While completing my second Master of Laws (LL.M. in Human Rights), I teach and supervise students on RUC’s Master’s programmes, ‘Global Development Studies’ and ‘Social Entrepreneurship and Management’. I am also part of the Edinburgh Law Human Rights Clinic, where I work on policy development of business responsibility in the UK in areas such as modern slavery (including human trafficking), and respect for the environment and children’s rights. My current research focus is on the uptake of BHR and corporate social responsibility (CSR) legislative and voluntary frameworks and regulations. Specifically, I am concerned with the implications this has for creating transformative learning outcomes (e.g. deeper understanding of human rights) in organizations to spur change in everyday business practice.
