Van Manen (1984) describes phenomenology as "a carefully cultivated thoughtfulness" rather than a technique, as well as stating that phenomenology is "a method without techniques." As such, it is both method and methodology. Anyone interested in phenomenology would be wise to start with Max van Manen's beautiful introduction. His reflections on the lived experience of motherhood and fatherhood as a way to understand phenomenological research provide approachable insight into this "technique-less" research method.

Attached are my fairly ugly and basic slides from Tuesday, March 8, 2016, which cover Descriptive Phenomenology (Husserl), Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis (Heidegger) and Phenomenography (Marton, 1994 as cited in Trigwell & Prosser). Chose this PPT theme because of the concept of "bracketing."

For a good modern example see Adams and Yin, who explored lived timed as one of the lifeworld existential themes.
