Human Science Research Studies
The purpose of this site is to list human science research studies (articles, chapters, books, monographs), research that is within the phenomenological and hermeneutical / interpretive traditions, broadly defined. This research is based on verbal or descriptive data (e.g., descriptions, interviews, and observations), and involves qualitative analysis or reflections on the data, analysis which aims to be faithful to the experiences or phenomena under investigation. Studies are listed alphabetically under the heading listed below. You can use your browser's text search facility (Ctrl F) to look for a word in a title, or for a proper name in a citation.
This web site is made possible by the support of Artful Software Development
At this point we do not list theoretical material, or material on how to do research. We would encourage others to start such sites, and of course we would be happy to provide links to them.
Although some of the material here could be found using a standard search engine or PsychInfo, some of it would not show up readily with a standard search. In addition, this listing is interdisciplinary in that it draws from psychology, sociology, nursing /caring science, education, and other fields, and, of course, it is international in scope.
You might also wish to visit the International Human Science Research Newsletter, the Simon Silverman Phenomenology Center, the Indo-Pacific Journal of Phenomenology, the Network for Research on Experiential Psychotherapies, and Phenomenonology Online.
If you know of a study we have missed, please send the complete reference information (APA format) to shalling@seattleu.edu.
