Research Interests

Harriet Bradley is a specialist in the study of women's employment. Her broader research interests are the sociology of gender, feminism, industrial relations and the sociology of work, along with a general interest in social divisions and inequalities. A developing interest is in issues around women, health and maternity.

Current Research

Currently Harriet is working on four funded research projects: one on young adults in the labour market (ESRC); one on women's experiences of early miscarriage (NHS); one studying young Turks alongside the Bangladeshi from the point of view of deprivation, ethnicity and youth prospects (Joseph Rowntree Foundation); and one investigating the role of trade unions in promoting employment opportunities for ethnic minority women (ESRC's Future of Work programme).

Current Teaching

TBC at start of 2007/8 academic year.
