The Indo-Pacific Journal of Phenomenology aims to provide scholars in the southern hemisphere with an avenue through which they can express their scholarship. The IPJP also serves as a networking opportunity for scholars in the region as they undertake their research, just as 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 issues within the phenomenological tradition. Contributions from the Northern Hemisphere will also be considered.
The journal's primary area of interest is focused on broadly based phenomenological and qualitative research approaches (theoretical and empirical) to deepening and refining our understanding of what it means to be human in every aspect that might pertain to human living, feeling and behaving in all realms whether these be spiritual or secular.
