Dr Dylan Tutt
Dylan Tutt joined the ICRC as a Senior Research Fellow in October 2010. He completed both his MA in Visual Culture and and his PhD in Sociology at Lancaster University.
Dylan's qualitative research focuses on social interaction, communication and technology, although he maintains a wider interest in quite diverse areas of cultural sociology, stemming from his background in sociology and visual culture. He specializes in visual ethnography and video-based studies of communication and (work) practice in diverse settings, including construction sites, research labs, GP clinics, and the home.
Dylan has also explored ways to apply these ethnographic studies to the development and design of new systems and technologies, most recently in helping design an ethnographic research methodology to investigate and evaluate communication channels for health & safety information in the construction industry.
Dylan's research within the ICRC will build on this existing expertise to focus on the uses and communication of knowledge in project environments. Within this he will be exploring three themes: Ethnographic Research into the Communication of Safety Knowledge; Migrant Worker Networks to Work in UK Construction; Virtual Ward and Home Refurbishment.
His publications reflect a strong interest in the social shaping of technology, workplace studies, ethnographic interventions, construction sociology and the sociology of the family. Dylan is currently co-editing a book with Sarah Pink and Andy Dainty for Routledge on 'Ethnographic Research in the Construction Industry'.
