Chapters address each stage of the grounded theory process, such as winning ethics approval, choosing software, open coding and memo-writing, as well as drawing diagrams and presenting results. The book prepares the reader for drawbacks, demonstrating how to conduct grounded theory research in a way that is rigorous and flexible. It pairs a structural framework with real-life stories, indicating how to keep projects on track. Expert contributors explore research methods spanning constructivist, Straussian and pragmatic grounded theory styles, equipping researchers with directly applicable memo templates, coding prompts and theoretical-sampling checklists.

Grounded Theory in Action is an essential resource for scholars and students in the applied social sciences, sociology, psychology, linguistics, politics and public policy. Practitioners in research, clinical educators and research methods instructors will also benefit from its invaluable insights.
