Pregnancy at Work
“Pregnancy at Work” wants to understand what challenges do working women face at their jobs during their pregnancy, and once do they return to work.
To do so we have an online questionnaire addressed to working mothers-to-be and working mothers being pregnant or not at the present moment.
The online questionnaire is built in a way that the participant is guided to the scenario that best fits into her reality, and includes a Consent form where the participant is informed about the research, her rights and what is expected of her participation. The information collected will help us to define a set of strategies, guidelines and services to help corporates embrace pregnancy as a part of work-life, and not as a roadblock to productivity and to work career.
Thanks for your interest and participation!!

Irish Women’s experience of abortion
Member Roe McDermott, a journalist, writer & feminist from Dublin, who works with Hot Press & RTE is currently taking an MA in Sexuality Studies and looking to conduct a series of interviews.
The thesis an exploration of Irish women’s experiences of abortion. The interviews will focus on these women’s education about sex and sexuality as well as abortion, their experience of getting an abortion, and if they were able to speak about their experience openly.
All personal information will be edited and will not be shown to or discussed with anyone, including Professor Fields (thesis supervisor).
