The course explores the phenomenology of practice through experiential writing, philosophy and human science theory, and has a processual character over two semesters.
There is a growing interest in the social sciences, humanities and in health-related disciplines to investigate certain kinds of questions that require a phenomenological sensitivity to lived experience of (children’s, adult’s, patient’s, client’s) life worlds. This course explores the phenomenology of practice through experiential writing, philosophy and human science theory, and has a processual character over two semesters.
The course orients to the phenomenological approach of investigating lived experience (short exercises), phenomenological methods for investigating meaning, the methods of the phenomenological interview and writing the data, and to a variety of phenomenological sources including classic philosophical texts, fiction, movies and visual art. You will be exposed to much interesting and challenging work, reading and writing.
The planned result of the course in phenomenological research and writing is a publishable phenomenological text. Therefore, the course is appropriate for students who are writing a phenomenological dissertation or intend to include a phenomenological article in their dissertation. Your application to the course will consequently request a text where your research interest is accounted for, including a (preliminary) description of your phenomenon of inquiry. For more information contact professor Tone Sævi: tone.saevi@vid.no
The course language is English and eventually Norwegian (if only Norwegian speaking PhD scholars and teachers are present).

General Information
Writing is key to phenomenological insight. Therefore, every session includes writing and home-lessons. Reading and writing go hand in hand. Therefore, much extra reading should be counted on. Reading each other’s texts helps move from subjective to intersubjective seeing and thus peer collaboration and work in small groups are given priority during and between the course days.
