Phenomenology & Practice
This human science journal focuses on studying lived experience across a broad range of human practices, including (but not limited to) the professional practices of pedagogy, design, counselling, psychology, social work, and health science.
Indo-Pacific Journal of Phenomenology
This journal seeks to support students and researchers (primarily in/from the Southern Hemisphere, although scholarship from the Northern Hemisphere is also considered) publishing newer written materials exploring research relating to emotional sentiment, mental states, bodily experience, existence, and the social and interpersonal relationship and contexts in which these take place.
Journal of Dance & Somatic Practices
This journal focuses on the relationship between dance and somatic practices, along with the influence of these bodies of practice in performing arts more broadly. It seeks to provide a space for scholarly debate around the work, impact, and influence of these perspectives on performance and to examine somatic practices’ interventions on other disciplines (including implications for research and teaching).
The Humanistic Psychologist
This journal is geared towards broadly defined inquiries into “humanistic psychologies.” It publishes qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-methods research; existential, constructivist and transpersonal theories and psychotherapies; and texts grounded in phenomenological, hermeneutic, critical, feminist, and multicultural perspectives
