Phenomenological Research

Theories, Methods & Debates

From an internationally-recognised expert in phenomenology, this book is a clear introduction to conducting research from a phenomenological perspective. 

The book focuses on the key principles, tools and techniques underpinning phenomenological research. It discusses phenomenological philosophy in an accessible way and, importantly, shows how these ideas shape research practice. 

It also:

• Equips readers to make informed decisions about their project, including how to choose between a ‘family’ of methods and select an appropriate analytical perspective
• Discusses a wealth of examples of phenomenological research from a wide range of disciplines including psychology, nursing and health, the social sciences and more
• Explores contemporary debates, live issues and advances in phenomenological research, keeping readers up to date with cutting-edge topics.

This is an essential guide for final-year undergraduates, postgraduates and researchers across the social and human sciences.
