Qualitative Research Resource of the Week

Phenomenology Online is Dr. Max van Manen's site through which he presents articles, monographs, and other materials discussing and exemplifying phenomenological research. He also provides password-protected access to his courses and workshops. His map of the interrelated aspects of Phenomenological Inquiry is one of the best resources for capturing the essence of this philosophical approach to qualitative inquiry. The glossary is another resource not to be missed for those wishing to learn more about definitions of terms with specialized meanings in the field of Phenomenology.
