phenomenologists
Lived experience studiers
Phenomenologists are philosophers or researchers who practice phenomenology—the study of consciousness and direct experience.
Rather than theorizing about the world abstractly, phenomenologists examine how things appear to us and how we experience them: Phenomenologists argue that we can't separate the observer from what's observed.
The term extends to scholars in psychology, sociology, and other fields who emphasize first-person experience over external measurement.
