Name: Pauline Leonard

Affiliation: University of Southampton


Abstract Details

In order to capture the ways in which work, workplaces and working lives are changing, a range of new and innovative methods are developing. This session will focus on a selection of these, including forms of workplace participant observation which involve 'getting stuck in'; the role of visual material such as archive photography, paintings, video and film in the remembrance of work and occupational culture; the 'nowaytomakealiving.net' website which studies work through visual and sensory methodologies; and the use of social media and the Web to explore new forms of work and organization.
