Sam Warren asked me to post the presentation software I used at the Standing Conference on Organizational Symbolism 2010 (SCOS) in Lille. The software is called Prezi and it is a good alternative to Powerpoint as it uses a zoom function instead of slides. University staff can get a free online license! If you are looking for a less linear way to present this might be an option.

Emma Bell and Sam Warren will present the results of a survey to gauge the ’state of the field’ in visual research at the British Academy of Management conference in September this year (see ‘activities’ tab for details). Be involved by taking part in this short survey about your own research practice, even if you dont currently use visual methods!http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/7YRNTB6

Sam Warren and Beatriz Acevedo present the 28^th Standing Conference on Organizational Symbolism (SCOS) which takes Vision as a central motif of contemporary management practice. We invite delegates to think of vision and organisation as conceptual, ideological and metaphorical practice. We want to inspire you to broaden your vision of vision beyond that which is ‘just’ symbolic. Visit the conference website at www.scos.org/2010/ for the full Call for Papers and further details.

TOURISM & PHOTOGRAPHY

Thursday 26^th November 2009, University of Surrey, Guildford

With digital cameras on every traveller’s check list, everyone likes to consider themselves a bit of a travel photographer. Taking photographs of indigenous people may provide fond memories of your adventures, but have you ever thought about the consequences of taking these photos? Dr Caroline Scarles will present her research from a recent trip to Peru on how taking photographs of locals affects their lives. The event will also look at the role magazines and guide books play in the way we take our holiday snaps, and how they guide our decision process when booking a holiday.
