Digital Phenomenology/Evidence
Method evidence record

Digital Phenomenology

Digital Phenomenology is a qualitative research approach that applies phenomenological inquiry to lived experiences mediated by or situated within digital environments — including social media platforms, virtual communities, online spaces, and interactions with digital technologies. It asks how people experience, make meaning of, and embody their encounters with digital tools and online worlds, using the interpretive and descriptive rigour of classical phenomenology in settings where much or all of the experience unfolds online.
