Offers a comprehensive and clear introduction to the complex field of vignette research. The authors welcome you in to the co-experiential lifeworld of the vignette researcher, taking the reader on a journey rich with theory, practical suggestions, and applications, raising serious questions about some established research conventions. I was fascinated, challenged and excited by its powerful possibilities. Highly recommended.

This open access book introduces vignette research to new and experienced researchers by guiding them through its history, theory and underlying principles before delving into step-by-step practical guidance on how to do vignette research.

Vignette research is an innovative qualitative, narrative and phenomenological research methodology that has gained international recognition, sparking interest from a wide range of individuals and institutions in global contexts. Vignettes are concise narratives, which capture human experiences in real life settings. They reveal surprising or intriguing facets and intangible moments. The experiential narratives resonate with readers and reduce the distance between the researcher and the researched.
