We need to visualise inclusive workplaces.
Many representations of the workplace are inaccurate or misleading.
This is Tom Ingate, Senior Lecturer in Photography at Falmouth University, and he has been guiding participating self-photographers through the process.
The Emerging Inclusivity photo project uses participatory photography to help participants visualise their day to day working environment, with particular focus on the adjustments that an employee or employer has made to make work accessible.
The photo-essay approach allows participants to capture not only the more visible adjustments of hearing loops or specialist office chairs, but also the smaller, less visible details that make the workplace accessible.
