Video provides unprecedented opportunities for social science
research, enabling fine-grained analysis of social organisation,
culture and communication. Video in Qualitative Research provides
practical guidance for students and academics on how to use video
in qualitative research, how to address the problems and issues
that arise in undertaking video-based field studies and how to
subject video recordings to detailed scrutiny and analysis. Heath,
Hindmarsh and Luff consider the ethical and practical issues that
arise in recording and gathering data as well as how video enables
new and distinctive ways of presenting insights, observations and
findings to both academic and practitioner audiences. The book is
illustrated throughout with a wide range of case material drawn
from the authors own research projects, and these cases serve to
situate the practical and methodological guidance offered by the
book into real research scenarios. Video in Qualitative Research is
an invaluable guide for students and researchers across the social
sciences thinking of using video as part of their research.

This important new book brings together key researchers in Europe and the United States to discuss critical issues in the study of the workplace and to outline recent developments in the field. The collection is divided into two parts. Part I contains a number of detailed case studies that not only provide an insight into the issues central to workplace studies but also some of the problems involved in carrying out such research. Part II focuses on the interrelationship between workplace studies and the design of new technologies.
Ethnomethodology has an elusive relationship with organisation
studies. The ethnomethodological work of Harold Garfinkel, and the
allied conversation analytic work of Harvey Sacks, is often cited
and yet empirical contributions informed by ethnomethodology and
conversation analysis remain rare. Organisation studies clearly has
a lot to say about work but this is normally related to some
broader set of social, economic and political issues. Rarely, if
ever, does this research involve an analysis of the mundane and
practical details of what actual work consists of. This book acts
as an evidence-based corrective by showing how research based on
ethnomethodology and conversation analysis can contribute to key
issues and debates in organisation studies. Drawing on audio/video
recordings from a diverse range of work settings, a team of leading
scholars present a series of empirical studies that illustrate the
importance of paying attention to the real-time achievement of
organisational processes and practices.
