We Study Subjectivity
We are developing methods that draw on quantitative assessment, qualitative inquiry, and embodied mapping to explore how experience is organized across people, relationships, and settings.
Our Research Framework
We look at four things at once: what a person reports, the conditions around them, recurring ways they organize information, and what happens between people. No single layer is treated as the whole explanation.
First-Person Experience
How a person describes sensation, emotion, thought, and meaning from their own point of view.
Context & Conditions
The roles, relationships, demands, and surroundings that may influence what a person perceives, interprets, and does.
Organizing Tendencies
Recurring ways people give weight to sensation, emotion, thought, and information from their surroundings.
Relational Effects
Where different perspectives converge, diverge, reinforce one another, or create friction within relationships and groups.
Our Research Tools
Together, these three tools form our approach to Dynamic Experience Mapping™. eeGAP looks broadly at experience in context, eeQIP follows a particular experience in depth, and eeSEE traces how embodied experience forms and changes. Used together, these developing tools are intended to help explore the interacting dynamics shaping how a situation is experienced. They are designed for educational and exploratory research, not clinical diagnosis.
eeGAP: General Assessment Protocol
eeGAP looks at how people experience themselves in context: what is happening around them, within their relationships, and in how they understand themselves and others. It includes emotion and physical sensation as part of the larger picture. The aim is to understand how experience is organized in a situation rather than treating its parts in isolation.
eeQIP: Qualitative Interview Protocol
eeQIP takes a specific moment or event and examines it in greater depth. It explores, in sequence, what the person noticed, felt, sensed, thought, understood, and believed was happening as the experience unfolded. The aim is to preserve the texture and sequence of a particular experience rather than reducing it to a general category, summary, or score.
eeSEE: Subjective Embodied Experience
eeSEE focuses closely on physical experience and how it changes over time. It maps and diagrams the movement of sensation through the body as an experience develops, shifts, or resolves. The aim is to make embodied experience easier to observe and describe while preserving its complexity rather than reducing it to a simple label or interpretation.
Get Early Access to Dynamic Experience Mapping
Use three integrated tools to examine how an experience is taking shape: what is happening in the situation, what you are noticing and interpreting, and how the experience is forming and changing in your body.
Dynamic Experience Mapping helps differentiate the forces, responses, relationships, and patterns influencing a situation so you can see more clearly how the experience is unfolding and begin to work with those dynamics more explicitly.
We are inviting beta testers to help us refine how the three tools work together, what they help people notice, and how useful the resulting understanding is in real situations.
