Rodger Broomé
Rodger is an academic psychologist specializing in the descriptive phenomenological method of research as developed by Amedeo Giorgi. My research topic areas of interest are in the emergency services, particularly, the lived-experiences of police, fire, emergency medical and other crisis workers. I am also interested in pursuing some victimological studies using the phenomenological approach. My professional background includes 22 years of emergency work in law enforcement, fire, emergency medical, and hazardous materials response. My theoretical approach to emergency management and leadership are based on Existential-Humanistic perspectives of the human person.

When phenomenology addresses the Lived-Experience, it is not the same as the idiomatic phrase life experiences by which people gain practical wisdom. Rather, it is the embodied experience of a phenomenon from the first-person perspective (subjective psychology) as it played out in its everyday (naïve) context. We capture that experience through self-report interviews or other modes of expression. Then the researcher submits the transcribed interview or other text analogue to the eidetic analysis in the phenomenological attitude (Giorgi, 1985; 2009).
I have provided page numbers in the references in the right side of Table 1 so that the beginner can go to those texts and read them. The advantage and purpose for my using The Husserl Dictionary (Moran & Cohen, 2012) is because they use page numbers in their references to the original ideas in Husserl’s works. Therefore, the beginner can trace back to the original works and read Husserl directly, after having become more acquainted with the concepts and their application in science.
Again, this is a learning aid and not intended to be sufficient information for the beginner to gain an adequate understanding of the scientific phenomenological analysis or its connections to Husserl’s epistemology.
