Dr Claire Cunnington

Dr Claire Cunnington is a researcher at the Department of Sociological Studies, University of Sheffield, UK and a survivor of childhood sexual abuse (CSA).

Her research focuses on victims/survivors of CSA both current and historically. The film 'Flow' is inspired by her Wellcome Trust funded doctoral research that asked adults recovering from CSA what helped and hindered their recovery. Following her PhD she is working on a Nuffield funded project looking at domestic violence and child protection. Dr. Cunnington recently had an article published in Qualitative Social Work that outlines the research that led to this film. Please see article posted here under External resources.
