Grounded Theory

Alasdair Gordon-Finlayson

Grounded theory is a qualitative method that enables researchers to build emergent theory from data (rather than using data to 'test' theory). In this session we will explore key principles, practical concerns, and philosophical underpinnings of this influential qualitative methods. We will engage in some basic qualitative analysis, using the methods of grounded theory.
