Critical Post-Intentional Phenomenological Inquiry (crit-PIP)

• In Event: Interrogating Qualitative Methodologies

Abstract

In this paper, we articulate a Critical Post-Intentional Phenomenological Inquiry (crit-PIP), suggesting that in order for phenomenologically-oriented epistemologies, ontologies, and methodologies to be used to meaningfully affect social change, there must be a more explicit engagement in critically-oriented theorizing; less focus on the phenomenon being conceptualized as residing primarily in the individual and more focus on the phenomenon circulating through the social; and a concerted effort to acknowledge the “social” as a space fraught with and by white supremacy.

We begin by briefly discussing some recent developments in Post-Intentional Phenomenology [PIP]. We then make a case for a critically-oriented PIP and close with some of our insights about what crit-PIP would need in order to become social change-oriented.
