Dr Safak Tartanoglu Bennett is a Lecturer in Work & Employment within the Work, Employment and Organisations (WEO) department at the University of Sheffield's Management School, having joined in September 2023. Previously, she held research and teaching positions at the University of Greenwich (CREW/PSIRU), University of Manchester (Alliance Manchester Business School), University of Duisburg-Essen, Uludag University, and University of Strathclyde.
Her educational background includes BA, MA, and PhD qualifications. Her research focuses on sociology of work, changing labour markets, and employment relations with emphasis on precarious work and vulnerable workers. She investigates labour standards in global garment supply chains (particularly in Turkey), circular economy dynamics in waste recycling, and garment industry workforce diversity.
Recent publications examine supermarket frontline work during pandemics, home-based garment production, and transnational labor disconnection. These works reveal trends in crisis-induced labor precarity, gendered vulnerabilities in informal work, and gaps in global labor governance across supply chains.
Dr Tartanoglu Bennett supervises PhD researcher Gwilym Evans on technology's impact on logistics sector work. She secured British Academy/Leverhulme Trust funding (2021-2022) for supermarket frontline crisis research and TUC funding (2021-2022) for pandemic workforce transition studies.
She is an active member of the Centre for Decent Work (CDW), serves on the British Standards Institute organisational committee, and acts as Editorial Assistant for the journal Work in the Global Economy.
