This chapter introduces the book, providing definitions of the book’s scope and key concepts: phenomenology and networked learning. It briefly contextualises these historically. The book project emerged from a collaboration known as hanfod.NL, and we offer a brief account of its development, including the organisation of an online workshop in 2021, and a double symposium at the 2022 Networked Learning Conference, Sundsvall, Sweden. After highlighting some benefits of bringing phenomenology to networked learning, we present a passage that situates the book within pertinent current debates, seeking to anticipate some responses: that refocusing upon ‘the human’ runs counter to recent posthuman work, which de-centres human agency; that networked learning and other learning technology research already features phenomenological work; and that phenomenology exhibits a Eurocentric bias. The chapter closes with a brief overview of the book’s sections and the chapters within them. In summary, the sections progress from laying out what phenomenology offers to networked learning research, exemplifying topics and approaches taken up in phenomenological studies, and finally showcasing how a phenomenological lens can critically inform and interrogate networked learning practice and research.
