Grounded Theory Jamboree VI: “Uncorking (classical) Grounded Theory”
Wednesday, August 3 to Friday August 5, 2011
9:00am – 4:00pm
Calgary, Alberta, Canada
Resolving the Confusion and Uncertainty Learning and Doing Classical Grounded Theory
Are you experiencing confusion and uncertainty learning and doing classical Grounded Theory (GT)? This Jamboree is an opportunity for you to resolve your confusion around doing classical GT. We will develop the GT Jamboree agenda based on common concerns and problems.
Goal of the GT Jamboree: Resolving the Confusion and Uncertainty of learning and doing classical GT. Participants will be able to direct their energy into doing their classical Grounded Theory research, and generate a relevant and meaningful classical Grounded Theory.
Some sample concepts and challenges we have found relevant to address for doing Grounded Theory
well, and which might show up again this year:
- Conceptualizing and Describing, Emerging and Forcing
- Dealing with the Literature and doing classical GT
- Some hotspot topics in classical GT:
- Recognizing Grounded Theory (methodology)
- Recognizing Grounded Theory (product)
- Research Questions and Core Variables
- Core confusion
- Determining theoretical saturation
Opportunities will be included for networking, as well as conversations with some seasoned GT
mentors via teleconference, as well as for sharing resources.
Who should attend?
- Graduate students considering, or working with classical Grounded Theory
- Qualitative and Quantitative researchers interested in cultivating their discovery-oriented expertise
- Clinicians and Policy Makers involved in Knowledge translation, transfer and evaluation
