Phenomenology of Practice

Abstract

Cathy Adams introduced the 2021 workshop on YouTube https://youtu.be/WTMUhULWyh4

In this video she explains something of the breadth of PoP's applications to research our students or colleagues everyday lived experiences. The workshop's method relies heavily on ideas from phenomenology's originary contributors but the emphasis is not on philosophy, rather learning by doing phenomenology. The workshop begins with a didactic session to cover some of the core phenomenological understandings, taking in questions such as, 'what exactly is lived experience?', 'why pre-reflective?', 'how does phenomenology go about studying the pre-reflective?', 'what is the reduction?', 'what is meant by "wonder in the face of the world"?'. We will explore what a phenomenological research question looks like.
