    Interpretation & Method
    WPSA Domain statement

    Interpretation and Method, a WPSA section since 2005, provides a
    forum for
    discussion of method and methodology related to interpretive research.
    Panels range from the practical to the philosophical, from the
    particularities of specific methods to strategies for effectively
    developing
    and conducting interpretive research to issues in the philosophy of
    (social)
    science.  Panels are especially welcome that explore the intersections
    between interpretation and various fields of scholarship (e.g.,
    interpretation and IR, interpretation and public policy,
    interpretation and
    comparative policy, and so on).

    Interpretive methods are informed, explicitly or implicitly, by
    presuppositions deriving from phenomenology, hermeneutics, and some
    critical
    theory and related to pragmatism, symbolic interaction theories, and
    ethnomethodology.  Their concerns often overlap with such other
    approaches
    as feminist theories, critical race theory, and critical legal studies.
    Although diverse in their modes of accessing and analyzing data,
    research
    processes in the interpretive tradition are united by an empirical and
    normative prioritizing of the lived experiences of people in research
    settings.
