“…There is no one accepted criteria for VPR analysis (Vince & Warren, 2012): thus outputs could be analysed in a more interpretive manner (Pink, 2001), which we reflect on in our concluding remarks.…”

“…They are also used extensively in healthcare, social work and education research because of the innovation required to find other ways of communicating beyond, or in addition to, the verbal (Vince & Warren, 2012). For example, children have made videos on the environment (Gauntlett, 1996); teenage mothers in South Africa have photographed their experiences (Liebenberg, 2009); Chinese female farmers have recorded their health concerns on pesticides through photography (Wang, 1999); Ghanaian farmers have photographed their progress with training and development (PhotoVoice, 2015); and refugee women have told their story through photography (O'Neill, 2008).…”

Business and society (B&S) researchers, as well as practitioners, have been critiqued for ignoring those with less voice and power (e.g. women, non-literate or indigenous peoples) often referred to as 'fringe stakeholders'. Existing methods used in B&S research often fail to address issues of meaningful participation, voice and power, especially in developing countries. In this article we stress the utility of visual participatory research (VPR) methods in B&S research to fill this gap. Through a case study on engaging Ghanaian cocoa farmers on gender inequality issues we explore how VPR methods may be used by researchers to achieve more inclusive, and thus more credible, stakeholder research that can improve decision-making within businesses.Furthermore, we argue that ingrained social and environmental problems tackled by B&S research and the unique context in which they occur may open up new opportunities to develop participatory visual methods for social change.

“…This is a term used by other researchers (e.g. Vince and Warren, 2012;Gallacher and Gallagher, 2008;Gallagher, 2009) Photography is often chosen on the basis of the freedom it gives young people to chose their responses away from the researcher's physical presence and the pressure this can entail (Barker and Smith, 2012;Gabhainn and Sixmith, 2006). It can be an empowering tool, which offers young participants a degree of control over the research process (Myers, 2010) and thus allows their points of view to come across.…”

This article discusses the experience of using photography in a research project with young (prospective) migrants in Ghana and Italy. Photography can be an empowering research tool, one that offers young participants a degree of control over the research process and thus allows their points of view to emerge. However, researchers need to consider that the choice of subjects may be influenced by the children's desire to avoid taking photographs in public, as they may attract attention and the act of pointing a camera may provoke unwanted questions and comments. Moreover, young people often lack the means to move independently, and this may further restrict the subjects they are able to photograph. Finally, they may resent adults' intrusion into their free time and therefore see taking photographs as a chore. I argue that all these factors need to receive greater attention when choosing photography in research with young participants. KeywordsVisual research; photography; children; young people 2 Using photography as a data collection technique in social research has grown increasingly common as equipment has become cheaper and simpler to use, and as participants' direct involvement in the process of inquiry has gained traction amongst investigators. Photography is used to gather insights into a wide range of subjects, and is utilised by both academic and non-academic researchers (Barker and Smith, 2012;Lal, Jarus and Suto, 2012). It is particularly favoured in research with children 1 , offering young participants the freedom to choose a response away from the researcher's direct presence and the consequent pressure this can entail (Barker and Weller, 2003). Photography is also selected in research with young people on the grounds that it is a pleasurable activity, one that can add a 'fun' dimension to a research project (Punch, 2002). Because of the greater degree of flexibility and creativity it can offer, photography is thus seen as a tool that can include young people as active participants in the research process (Luttrell, 2010), involving them directly in an enjoyable and engaging manner.While the positive aspects of photography as a data collection technique in social research are many, and while they have been repeatedly emphasised, many of the questions raised by the use of this technique have yet to find an answer (Luttrell and Chalfen, 2010). Engaging photography to capture the intentions and understandings of young people on their own terms has led to postulate its potential as a technique that allows researchers to '[see] through the eyes of children' (Banks, 2007, 5), and ensured the popularity of the technique. However, the enthusiasm for the potential of photography has also led to neglect regarding the complex dynamics which shape each image. Some authors have indeed stressed a need for caution, particularly with reference to the possible influences that other people -including the absent-yet-3 present researcher -may exercise on young participants' choice of subject (Barker and Smith, ...

“…Apart from photography, a broad range of visual artifacts has been used (e.g., Harper, 2002;Meyer, 1991;Vince & Warren, 2012). Such visuals can either be created by field members themselves or selected by the researcher (Ray & Smith, 2012).…”

With the unprecedented rise in the use of visuals, and its undeniable omnipresence in organizational contexts, as well as in the individual's everyday life, organization and management science has recently started to pay closer attention to the to date under-theorized 'visual mode' of discourse and meaning construction. Building primarily on insights from the phenomenological tradition in organization theory and from social semiotics, this article sets out to consolidate previous scholarly efforts and to sketch a fertile future research agenda. After briefly exploring the workings of visuals, we introduce the methodological and theoretical 'roots' of visual studies in a number of disciplines that have a long-standing tradition of incorporating the visual. We then continue by extensively reviewing work in the field of organization and management studies: More specifically, we present five distinct approaches to feature visuals in research designs and to include the visual dimension in scholarly inquiry. Subsequently, we outline, in some detail, promising avenues for future research, and close with a reflection on the impact of visualization on scientific practice itself.
