Some disciplines offer deep theoretical resources for thinking about values: consider for example value theory in moral philosophy, or fact‐value debates in the philosophy of science. In empirical research, the values of participants can be an implicit or explicit object of study, and are approached and understood differently by researchers from different disciplines. Some methodologies—such as deliberative democratic approaches—invite participants to make cooperative judgements about value trade‐offs. Others may structure data collection to explicitly elicit values, or extract implied values from participant talk in analysis. Researchers then make decisions about how to report participant values, and about relating participant values to existing theory, and building conclusions. These issues and practices will be the focus of our conversation.<br><br>National and international colleagues, and members of the ACHEEV team, will present papers illustrating theoretical and empirical approaches to working with values. We will end the day with a panel discussion of the affordances of different methods for researching values, and an open conversation on the question: What do we mean when we say we are researching values? <br><br>While we will offer hybrid options, we strongly encourage you to attend in person if you can. Note that the in‐person meeting is on the Innovation Campus, not the main campus, of the University of Wollongong. We look forward to welcoming you to Wollongong in October.<br><br>KEYNOTES<br>Professor Kieran O’Doherty, University of Guelph, Canada: How should we understand values in deliberative contexts: Individual commitments, collective vision, or abstract principles?<br>Dr Bryan Mukandi, University of Wollongong: On the imperative, and dangers, of non‐conformity.<br><br>SPEAKERS<br>Professor Kevin Elliott, Michigan State University, USA: Values in Healthcare Contexts: What Are Values Anyway?<br>Distinguished Professor Wendy Rogers, Macquarie University: Novel use of an animation to engage scientists in discussion about values in synthetic biology research<br>Dr Dan Santos, Australian National University, Canberra: Valuation in Stem Cell Research: Sharing, Collaboration and Openness<br>Dr Diego Silva, University of Sydney: An Argument in Favour of Dionysian Public Health<br>Associate Professor Claire Hooker, University of Sydney: Values in risk communication about COVID‐19<br><br>Hope to see you there!<br><br>Best<br>Yves</div><div><div><br><span class="gmail_signature_prefix">-- </span><br><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family:monospace"><span style="color:rgb(7,55,99)"><b>Dr. Yves Saint James C.
