ABOUT THE IPJP

Origins of the Journal
The Journal is an initiative of the Phenomenology Research Group based at Edith Cowan University, South West Campus, in Western Australia and Rhodes University in South Africa, where there has been a long-established phenomenological tradition.

The Phenomenology Research Group is a circle of postgraduate scholars who have a range of research interests which cross a broad spectrum of areas including education, health, religion, business, tourism, counselling and psychology.

The unifying force which holds these diverse research interests together is a commitment to phenomenology as a research methodology.

This initiative arose out of a collaborative phenomenological program with Dr Robert Schweitzer from Queensland University of Technology and Dr Trish Sherwood of Edith Cowan University, with Professor Christopher Stones of Rhodes University becoming involved shortly thereafter.

Statement of Purpose
The Indo-Pacific Journal of Phenomenology is intended to provide scholars in the southern hemisphere with an avenue through which they can express their scholarship.  The Journal also serves as a networking opportunity for scholars in the region as they undertake their research. Similar avenues exist in the Northern Hemisphere (Europe and North America).

The IPJP is intended primarily as a forum for Southern African, Indian, Australian, Asian, New Zealand and Pacific Island scholars to discuss a broad range of phenomenological issues. However, contributions from Northern Hemisphere phenomenological scholars will also be considered

"We envisage the IPJP

as providing established

scholars and students with

an avenue for publishing

written material and

undertaking new exploratory

research in areas such as

social relationships, bodily

experience, emotional

sentiment, mental states, and

the contemporary contexts in

which these take place."

The underlying assumption of the Journal is that phenomenology provides researchers with a unique research philosophy which allows them to explore issues central to the question of being human. It enables the richness of human experience to be explicated.

We particularly seek to support and encourage those scholars who feel the need for a further dimension in their research which enables them to explore topics whose import lies beyond the reach of measurement and calibration, and in areas such as human meaning, experiences, values, and truthfulness. We envisage the Indo-Pacific Journal of Phenomenology as providing established scholars and students with an avenue for publishing written material and undertaking new exploratory research in areas such as social relationships, bodily experience, emotional sentiment, mental states, and the contemporary contexts in which these take place.
