Please reach out to me via email at [email protected] and we will discuss your project. Thanks and regards, Anil Behal, PhD

Yeah, I figured that out! Thanks!

You are very welcome Moises! I'd be very happy to discuss your research study. Why don't you email me at [email protected]

@@AnilBehal I sure will Dr. Behal. I am about to finish my research protocol and I'd be delighted if you review it and get your insights upon it.

Hi Fernando. What is your research about? I am also conducting my Phd research. I'd like to know what the phenomenon your on is.

Fernando, I have already responded to your email message and am waiting for us to get started on your interesting research study!

I am glad that you found my presentation to be useful. Please feel free to reach out to me via email at [email protected] if I can be of help.

I am glad you found my presentation to be helpful! Are you a doctoral student?

@@AnilBehal ha I wish 🤣 I am an app developer... The idea I am gestating is an *app* called *kairos* which “does” the epoché _for_ you, then guides you through a process of eidetic reduction based on what I refer to as “greek chakras”. The Eidos of a phenomenon, which may only last during the suspension of a Kairos, can be broken down by ethos, pathos, logos etc. I am considering *Topos* as the “past” (what topics are relevant to you, are from the past); you then trigger a *Kairos* (present), by opening the app and typing up the Eidos of the situation you’re in or the object you’re focusing on. And you’ll specify the *Telos* (future) that you expect to achieve through this (or the next) kairos you initiate. It’s a productivity app. I am in a kairos right now, writing to you; I am developing the mental model for the app as I type this. That sense of *flow* is what I aim to deliver to users. During this kairos, I should get myself excited enough, to motivate myself during “some future kairos”, to actually draw out the prototype of the app. I can imagine the app being delivered in a series of, say, twelve future sessions of thinking-about-it. This kind of planning can be conceived as a *chain of future kairoi* that will guide me to a good and useful *telos* of delivering a interesting productivity tool to lots of good people. If you think about it, every single bit of content on the internet is the output of a *kairos* - and yet, the time that putting those bits of content up to the internet, is but a tiny fraction of the lives (and ideas) of these amazing creators. Not everything needs to be “published”, but articulation is fundamental to consciousness. There is something fundamentally immanent to the tactic of epoché. So this app will be mostly-private, in order to address the untapped potential of our Chronos lives, to trigger Kairos often and get more done in life. the idea being, most of life, is not within Kairos (actual); it’s within Chronos (potential). A Kairos-situation being a type of Object, which can be addressed by one’s consciousness, “carved out” from the wash of Chronos. A _window of opportunity_ in which “something” _(logos)_ is possible. (Aristotle says “politics is the art of the possible”, an interesting observation 🤔) Anyway, open the app, and you’re now in a *kairos!* On a temporary basis, of course. What is the meaning of this moment? Write it down! This lets you look at life serially, like all consciousness; you can only write one thing at a time. A philosopher, conversant with epoché, can Suspend everything except the Object at hand, and then figure out what it Means. You do this by asking, ok, what SHOULD I do (ethos), how does this situation make me FEEL (pathos), what is the next step (logos), etc. Once the situation has been reduced to its Meaning, then you get to do meaningful stuff before the Kairos clock runs out. The idea of helping millions of users, turn their unfocused wash of time, into specific custom Kairos events, during which they can really think about accomplishing something important to them, tuning out everything else, and then being able to look back on the various Kairoi they’ve captured in the past, and reminisce, like we used to with the physical photo albums every family used to carefully curate before the age of the smartphone... that’s the pathos for me right now... feels good 🤣 What I need to consider is that this concept of epoché is brand new to me and your video has several specific types of epoché for me to think about !!! Thank you !!!

I agree!

In phenomenological studies, the researcher typically looks for and recruits a "purposive sample" of participants who have direct lived experience with the phenomenon. A good sample is representative of the life-world of those who have experienced the phenomenon. For instance, if you are researching a phenomenon such as the "lived experience of unwed mothers raising a child in a single family household," your research participants are all unwed mothers who are raising children, regardless of where they are located, what social class they belong to etc. Your focus is on exploring the lived experience of these unwed mothers.

You are very welcome!

You are very welcome Ni! If I can be of help to you for IPA, email me at [email protected]

Ro Paula, please email me at [email protected] if I can provide individual guidance and coaching on the use an deployment of phenomenology and IPA.

You are right. IPA is a retrospective account of what has transpired in the past. Participants recount their lived experiences of a given phenomenon with the researcher who uses her own lens to make sense of what the participant is making sense of. We call this the "double hermeneutic." There really is no such thing as "here and now" in phenomenology. The moment you begin to have someone reflect on their "here and now" as in present experiences, they have already slipped into the past. We are always too late in capturing the here and now. There is an approach that you can use to capture what you are suggesting as the here and now experience. It requires a customized study design and a somewhat different methodological approach.

I am glad that you enjoyed my presentation, Pilira!

Great to hear that, Katie! Would you like to connect with me on LinkedIn? I am at www.linkedin.com/in/orgdyne

I don't! Please try NVivo or Atlas

Thank you Danica! If I can be of support to you, please do get in touch with me at [email protected]

Jane, IPA research is always about the direct "lived experience" of something. That something is known as the study phenomenon. If you need more clarity, please email me at [email protected]
