The book: Doing phenomenography: a practical guide, published in 2024 by Policy Press, has been described by phenomenography’s founder, Ference Marton,  as “The best and only vade mecum of phenomenography.”  In it, the authors outline a step by step approach to carrying out this qualitative research approach, drawing on their own experience as phenomenographers.
