identifying the research challenges of farhangian university professors in the field of humanities (a phenomenological study)

Purpose: the present study aimed to identify the research challenges faced by farhangian university professors in the field of humanities.methodology: adopting a critical paradigm with a qualitative approach, this research employed a phenomenological strategy based on colaizzi's multi-stage model. the participants consisted of 12 male and female professors from farhangian university in kurdistan province during the 2023–2024 academic year. professors were selected through purposive sampling with maximum variation. data were collected using researcher-designed semi-structured interviews and analyzed through latent qualitative content analysis alongside an analogical-inductive tactic.findings: the results revealed two main categories: (1) challenges in the individual domain (mental-ethical and knowledge-skill related), and in the work environment (supportive, organizational attitude, publications, and social factors); and (2) proposed solutions to address these challenges.conclusion: the findings indicate that the research process in humanities is hindered by multi-dimensional and multi-level obstacles, which threaten the sustainability and future of research in this field. a comprehensive review and reform of the research process in humanities is therefore essential.value: this study offers valuable insights for policymakers and planners by highlighting both the challenges and potential solutions for advancing research in the humanities. purpose: the present study aimed to identify the research challenges faced by farhangian university professors in the field of humanities.methodology: adopting a critical paradigm with a qualitative approach, this research employed a phenomenological strategy based on colaizzi's multi-stage model. the participants consisted of 12 male and female professors from farhangian university in kurdistan province during the 2023–2024 academic year. professors were selected through purposive sampling with maximum variation. data were collected using researcher-designed semi-structured interviews and analyzed through latent qualitative content analysis alongside an analogical-inductive tactic.findings: the results revealed two main categories: (1) challenges in the individual domain (mental-ethical and knowledge-skill related), and in the work environment (supportive, organizational attitude, publications, and social factors); and (2) proposed solutions to address these challenges.conclusion: the findings indicate that the research process in humanities is hindered by multi-dimensional and multi-level obstacles, which threaten the sustainability and future of research in this field. a comprehensive review and reform of the research process in humanities is therefore essential.value: this study offers valuable insights for policymakers and planners by highlighting both the challenges and potential solutions for advancing research in the humanities.
