Clare is an internationally recognised expert in the multi-disciplinary analysis of gender and class at work, working time, domestic labour and care, and she has published widely on these topics.
For many years, she has worked on projects relating to gender and the labour market, including issues surrounding work-life balance and conflict, career choices, gender roles, gender and class inequality, fatherhood, atypical working and part-time or flexible working. Her projects include an evaluation of the Quality Part-Time Work Fund (2009-2010), commissioned by the Government Equalities Office; a Nuffield Foundation-funded project to examine the experiences of student mothers both during higher education and upon entry into the labour market (2013); an examination of work-life balance in the Armed Forces for the Ministry of Defence (2015); a project on the barriers to employment for spouses and partners in the Armed Forces Community (Army Families Federation, 2017-2018); and a project for the Government Equalities on motivations for employers to offer family-friendly working. Clare’s most recent research includes an ESRC-funded project on the impact of Covid on working-class women, with Nottingham University.
