Clare Fenwick (1989) was born in London, United Kingdom. In 2011 she received the Bachelor of Science (BSc) Politics with Economics at the University of Bath. In 2015, she received a Master of Science (MSc) in Public Policy and Human Development (Cum Laude), a double degree from Maastricht University and the United Nations University (UNU-MERIT), with a specialisation in Migration Studies. In 2016, Clare began her PhD on the political economy of immigration and welfare state transformations at the Department of Economics, at Leiden Law School of Leiden University. Her research examined how immigration redefines the institutional and conceptual boundaries of national welfare systems in Europe and was conducted as part of the SOLID: Solidarity under Strain – A legal, criminological and economic analysis of welfare states and free movement in the EU project. During her doctoral studies, Clare attended various PhD courses and summer schools, presented her work at leading conferences such as the European Consortium for Political Research (ECPR) and the Council for European Studies (CES). She also contributed to and organised specialist panels, seminars, and workshops. In 2019, her article The Political Economy of Immigration and the Welfare State: Evidence from Europe was published in the European Political Science Review and received the 2020 Meijers Prize for best published article. Following her time at Leiden, Clare continued to explore the evolving dynamics of welfare provision and labour markets in the context of European integration and digital transformation. As a postdoctoral researcher at Studio Europa, Maastricht University, she investigated labour market and affective polarisation, and the constraints that labour market uncertainty places on the achievement of socio-economic equality. She also helped shape public engagement initiatives connecting academic research with policy debates, including events for the European Commission and the Conference on the Future of Europe. Clare later joined the Centre for Microsimulation and Policy Analysis at the University of Essex as a Senior Research Officer, contributing to EUcommissioned projects focused on the effect of digital transformation on employment, wage, poverty and inequality effects in the EU. Together with her colleagues, she co-authored the article The impact of a decade of digital Curriculum Vitae
