Jenelle Clarke, PhD

Principal Investigator, Post-Doctoral Fellow, University of Birmingham

Dr Jenelle Clarke is a Senior Lecturer at Birkbeck, University of London. She is a health and social care sociologist whose research involves the exploration of everyday experiences of delivering and receiving health and mental health care, health and care system leadership, applying sociological theory to health improvement sciences, and improving coproduced healthcare initiatives. Jenelle's research is broadly within health/mental health, health organisation, health system leadership, integrated working, public sector working, and their interface with culture, transformation and identity. Her PhD from the University of Nottingham (UK) in 2015 was one of the first to apply Interaction Ritual Chain theory within a mental health context. She has experience using sociological theories applied to health and mental health care and has been funded by organisations such as the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC), the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) and The Healthcare Improvement Studies (THIS) Institute.
