Professional biography

Clem Herman is Emerita Professor of Gender and Technology in the School of Computing and Communications.

Research interests

The focus of my research has been to bring a critical gender analysis to the experiences of women who return after taking a career break to work in STEM related fields and in particular the locations, both temporal and spatial, in which their identities as scientists, engineers and technologists are developed, nurtured, curtailed or rekindled. I have published widely on the employability and careers of women returners and in particular the impact of career breaks for women in engineering and technology companies. Recent projects have included Gender Skilled Migration and IT: A comparative study of UK and India, and Gendered Microaggressions in Computing Higher Education.
