The Indo-Pacific Journal of Phenomenology is intended to provide scholars in
the southern hemisphere with an avenue through which they can express their
scholarship.  The Journal also serves as a networking opportunity for
scholars in the region as they undertake their research. 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 phenomenological issues. However, contributions from Northern
Hemisphere phenomenological scholars will also be considered.

The underlying assumption of the Journal is that phenomenology provides
researchers with a unique research philosophy which allows them to explore
issues central to the question of being human. It enables the richness of
human experience to be explicated.

We particularly seek to support and encourage those scholars who feel the
need for a further dimension in their research which enables them to explore
topics whose import lies beyond the reach of measurement and calibration,
and in areas such as human meaning, experiences, values, and truthfulness.
We envisage the Indo-Pacific Journal of Phenomenology as providing
established scholars and students with an avenue for publishing written
material and undertaking new exploratory research in areas such as social
relationships, bodily experience, emotional sentiment, mental states, and
the contemporary contexts in which these take place.

Submissions should lean towards qualitative research and address such areas
as human social relationships, bodily experience, emotional sentiment,
mental states, and the contemporary contexts in which these occur. Such
research may address areas of religion, psychology, philosophy, sexuality,
cultural practice and personal preference.

The theoretical framework upon which submissions are founded will draw on
the work of theoreticians from within Continental Philosophy and in
particular phenomenology. The submissions should relate aspects of these
theories to those aspects of human experience to which contributors choose
to draw attention.
