Analytical framework: three normative orientations of concern

Orientation of concern	How the study affects the field	Diagnostic question	Philosophical resource
Transformative	Unsettles the categories through which a field thinks and opens new horizons of inquiry	Does the study give the field a new way of thinking?	Adorno (1977)
Emancipatory	Widens whose voices, standpoints and modes of knowing the field is prepared to acknowledge	Does the study widen what the field acknowledges?	Honneth (1995, 2014)
Disciplinary	Answers questions that the field has come to treat as worth pursuing and refines the methodological practices through which it pursues them	Does the study advance the field's substantive questions or strengthen its methodological practice?	Weber (1958)
