Chiostro S. Maria della Vittoria - S.R. T.15 [T.15 - Terra] Marco Ubbiali During the first day, the theoretical foundations of the method were presented, with particular reference to key concepts of Husserlian phenomenology and their application to qualitative research. Examples of the use of EPM for addressing eidetic research questions in the educational field were also discussed, highlighting the relationship between theoretical frameworks, research question formulation, and methodological choices. Organization: • 1st module: Empirical Phenomenological Method (EPM): theoretical foundation (October 16, 2 hours) • 2nd module: EPM and eidetic research questions: examples of application in the educational field (October 16, 2 hours).

Chiostro S. Maria della Vittoria - S.R. T.15 [T.15 - Terra] Rosi Bombieri The seminar will present the Empirical phenomenological Method elaborated by Luigina Mortari as an innovative approach for qualitative research. After presenting its theoretical foundation, starting from Husserlian concepts, the seminar will propose three applications of the method in educational and in healthcare fields. The seminar will be structured in 4 modules: • Empirical Phenomenological Method (EPM): theoretical foundation (October 16, 2 hours) • EPM and eidetic research questions: examples of application in the educational field (October 16, 2 hours) • EPM and narrative research questions: examples of application in the educational field (October 17, 2 hours) • EPM and narrative research questions: examples of application in the healthcare field (October 17, 2 hours) At the end of the seminar the PhD students will be able to understand the theoretical underpinnings of the choice of a research method, will know the foundation of a method able to investigate the lived experience of people and, after the discussion of three implemented inquiries, will have the possibility to reflect on the concrete instruments and steps for carrying out qualitative research. The faculties will dedicate time for the class debate and will be glad to discuss with the PhD students about their research projects.

Chiostro S. Maria della Vittoria - S.R. T.15 [T.15 - Terra] Marco Ubbiali The second day was devoted to exploring applications of EPM to narrative research questions. Through examples drawn from educational and healthcare contexts, the main stages of qualitative research focused on investigating lived experience were examined. The sessions encouraged reflection on the practical tools and procedures of the method and on its potential use within the PhD students’ own research projects, with dedicated time for discussion and scholarly exchange. Organization: • EPM and narrative research questions: examples of application in the educational field (October 17, 2 hours) • EPM and narrative research questions: examples of application in the healthcare field (October 17, 2 hours).
