​Research: my research focuses on organisational space, artefacts and identity. I have an expertise in qualitative research methods including innovative visual methodologies, specifically, participant-led photography. I have led research and consultancy projects with the Environment Agency, Bristol, the NHS North Bristol Trust, The Department for Business, Innovation and Skills, London and a wide variety of Hair and Beauty Salons across the UK. My research has industry and academic impact and has been published in journals including Human Relations, Organizational Research Methods, Management Learning and the International Journal of Work, Organisation and Emotion. My work is internationally recognised at the highest level, having won Paper of the Year 2015 in Human Relations.

I am currently leading a collaborative research project with industry: ISG (construction), Godfrey Syrett (furniture), and Stride Treglown (architects). Please visit www.myuwebbsview.co.uk for more details.
