Sheffield Hallam University Lifts Ban on Research into Forced Labour in China
Sheffield Hallam University has reversed its decision to restrict research on forced labour in China, acknowledging past failures to uphold academic freedom. The reversal comes after internal documents showed that for almost two years the university had yielded to pressure from a Chinese government intelligence body, limiting scholarly investigation in this field.
Dr. Laura Murphy, Professor of Human Rights and Contemporary Slavery at Sheffield Hallam University, has received an assurance from the institution guaranteeing the full protection of her academic independence moving forward.
Dr. Murphy stated that the pledge represents a critical step in restoring integrity and transparency to her research on forced labour practices.
