Dilemmas and craftsmanship practices: Strategies for empirically uncovering values and value conflicts

Research output: Chapter in Book / Report / Conference proceedingChapterAcademicpeer-review

Abstract

This chapter’s aim is to unearth values and value conflicts in the public realm. By elaborating two different and related research strategies that have successfully been adopted in different empirical studies, we describe how we can study these tricky things called values in their context. More specifically, the goal of this chapter is to uncover values and value conflicts through two (related) strategies: (a) by studying dilemmas and (b) by studying craftsmanship practices. To help readers understand the practicalities of these research strategies and support them in applying them themselves, we provide detailed tips, tricks and visualisations on data collection, data analysis and examples of research findings.
