Sociology Research

 

William Fleming is a PhD Student in the Department of Sociology, University of Cambridge. His doctoral research consists of a quantitative sociological analysis of workplace well-being initiatives in all their forms. He is
interested in how wellbeing fits in management, who engages with wellbeing initiatives, and what effect they have on workers' wellbeing. This research sits at a nexus of the sociology of work, sociology of health and wellbeing
science and these are all areas William is interested in more broadly.

William is proficient in statistical analysis and other computational methods. He was co-convener of the Individual in the Labour Market reading group and research cluster for a number of years. He has experience teaching
statistics at undergraduate and postgraduate levels and has taught on a number of papers in sociology.
