Excellent working paper by Prosser et al on the ‘ethical hypochondria’ surrounding visual methods and ethics (lovely phrase!)

Sam Warren and Beatriz Acevedo present the 28th 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.
Jane Davison, Chris McLean and Sam Warren invite contributions to a ground-breaking Special Issue of the journal Qualitative Research in Organizations and Management that address a wide range of perspectives and ideas relating to the visual within qualitative organization and management studies. Criteria for inclusion will (in addition to the usual QROM criteria) include: (1) originality of subject matter or approach; (2) critical engagement with the topic; and (3) contribution to qualitative research in the organization and management field. We also hope to place particular emphasis on creative and innovative approaches – including those that criticise the desirability of increasingly visualised organizational communication.

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.
