The Iranian Society for Phenomenology (ISP) is a non-profit organization working under the aegis of the Iranian Political Science Association (IPSA). Generally, the purpose of ISP is to stimulate, accelerate, and integrate phenomenological research and to broaden existing knowledge about related philosophical and scientific studies in this field. To achieve this goal, the ISP holds theoretical classes, specialized meetings, reading groups, and scientific workshops as well as producing audio and video content and publishing the Iranian Yearbook of Phenomenology (IYP). Nevertheless, the main focus of ISP is on existing and/or possible political readings of phenomenology.

At the Iranian Society for Phenomenology, we proudly organize a series of national and international meetings in collaboration with esteemed institutions dedicated to phenomenology and politics. Discover our inspiring programs on our Facebook page or Instagram account, and explore a variety of discussions on our YouTube channel.

As part of our commitment to international collaboration, we are honored to actively participate in the John Deely Memorial Project. Our latest international collaboration with the British Society for Phenomenology showcases our commitment to fostering global dialogue and insight.

Hamid Malekzadeh, who serves as an assistant professor at Kashan University, holds the position of scientific and executive secretary for the Iranian Society of Political Science (ISP). In this role, he is responsible for overseeing a range of academic and administrative functions that support the society’s mission. Additionally, our executive and media initiatives are coordinated through the Iranian Political Science Association, which facilitates collaboration among political science scholars and practitioners, promoting research, discussions, and public engagement within the field. This structure enables us to effectively share insights and advance political science discourse in Iran and beyond.
