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.
Despite the extraordinary advances in digital and communication
technology over recent years, we know very little about the way
these complex systems affect everyday work and interaction. This
book seeks to explore these issues through a series of video-based
field studies. It begins by discussing the introduction of basic
information systems in general medical practice and ends with an
exploration of interpersonal communication in advanced media
spaces; in the process also looking at news production, the control
room of London Underground and computer aided design in
architectural practice. Social interaction forms a particular focus
of these studies as they explore the way individuals use various
tools and technologies and coordinate their actions and activities
with each other. The authors also show how video-based field
studies of work and interaction can inform the design, development
and deployment of new technology, in this valuable new resource for
academics, researchers and practitioners.
