Transitions in the technologies and practices of office work: Manchester's
administrative industries (1960-2017) With Manchester Museum of Science and
Industry.
This project investigates the relation between innovations in office
technology - from filing cabinets and fax machines through to hard drives and
email - and changing competencies and experiences of office work. The
research will makes use of the Museum of Science and Industry's (MSI)
collection of office-related objects, and of secondary sources together with
interviews and focus groups to find out how innovations in office technology
have affected the nature and location of office work and vice versa. In
tackling these questions, and in showing what past innovations in office work
might reveal about the future, the research will bring together concepts and
approaches from fields such as science and technology studies, material
culture and the sociology of everyday practice, also developing a novel
integration of methods of material culture/object analysis, interviews, focus
groups and archival research.
Deadline for applications: 12th February 2018
Situating Everyday First Aid: Social Practices and Settings of Incidents and
Help. With the British Red Cross.
The project investigates the social organisation of first aid. The research
will focus on the social and institutional settings within which first aid
'incidents' occur and how these settings influence the kinds of 'responses'
and forms of help that follow.
The aim is to provide a better understanding of accidents, risks, and harms by
positioning first aid incidents not as random events but as embedded in the
spatial and temporal ordering of social practices and social life. The project
is designed to generate further understanding of the social organisation of
help and what this means for those involved in developing and providing first
aid training.
Deadline for applications: 9th February 2018
