Constructing Grounded Theory 2nd Revised edition

Charmaz leads students of sociology and other social sciences through the steps of constructing grounded theory, offering guidelines, examples, and suggestions but letting the student's reading of the work guide the next moves. Among the topics are gathering rich data, crafting and conducting intensive interviews, interviewing in grounded theory studies, the logic of grounded theory coding practices and initial coding, focused coding and beyond, memo-writing, reconstructing theorizing in grounded theory studies, writing the draft, and reflecting on the research process.
