Dr Clare Mumford
Senior Research Assistant
My profile
Research outputs
My research interests focus broadly on people’s experience of work and work relations and the meanings they attach to these. I am particularly interested in themes of care and non-disruption, how these themes can be promoted in work relations, and in the roles that silence and ‘non-action’ play.
My research training is in qualitative research methodology and theory.
Currently I am working as the senior research assistant on a Leverhulme Trust funded project on fertility/pre-conception and work, led by Dr Krystal Wilkinson at MMU’s Centre for Decent Work and Productivity.
