Webinar: An Introduction to Constructivist Grounded Theory

Webinar Details

Date:  2024-06-04

Time:  12 p.m. EDT | 6 p.m. CEST

Join this webinar for an introduction to Kathy Charmaz’s constructivist grounded theory (CGT). Following a brief exploration of the history and development of GT, Dr. Elaine Keane will examine GT basic guidelines and major strategies, including initial line-by-line and focused coding, the use of gerunds, memoing, diagramming, theoretical sampling, and categorizing.

Throughout the session, there is an emphasis on CGT’s epistemological foundation and resultant adaptations to the research process, including regarding the literature review, critical reflexivity with regard to researcher positionality/ies, and participant involvement. This webinar will be of interest to those doing full CGT studies but also to those who may be interested in learning about and potentially using some of the powerful GT strategies (such as coding) in studies with a different overall methodological approach.
