At the International Human Science Research Conference each year, scholars from diverse countries, languages, disciplines, and backgrounds come together to share their research and discuss matters of phenomenology. They come together in dialogue, engaging across commonalities and differences.

This year’s conference will focus on a variety of theoretical and methodological approaches in phenomenology and their impact on the state of the science. The application of phenomenological methods to lived experience research will be explored.

Sub-themes:
-Philosophical traditions providing a foundation for dialogue among human science researchers

-Phenomenological methods applied within the human sciences (methods of field observation, interviewing, reflective analysis of data, and presentation of findings)

-Stories from the field that speak to the theme of Building Bridges though the Pandemic (narratives pertaining to politics, education, social systems, gender, sexuality, trauma, religion, spirituality, illness and healing).
