This two-day intensive provides you with an overview of the methods of grounded theory research within the context of its origins, history, and philosophical foundations.
The session is applicable to professionals and students in the health and social sciences within the IU system as well as from other universities or organizations.
Attendees receive a didactic lecture on the tenets of grounded theory, an opportunity to frame a research question in their area of interest, a discussion of how to develop a grounded theory proposal, hands-on coding activities, and an activity focused on the critique of grounded theory research.
Participants must be able to attend both days of the intensive. Single day registration or participation is not permitted.

“The speaker is very experienced in GT and open to share her works.”
“Dr. Draucker was wonderful; she led an interactive course that was challenging and enlightening.”
“She turned every question into an opportunity to teach.”
“I appreciated the dialogue from my fellow students as well as the camaraderie...Dr. Draucker helped lead the group to the right conclusions.”
“(Workshop was) directly applicable to my research question.”
“(I) have been able to better mentor students in selecting courses and methods that might more appropriately match their research interests.”
Grounded theory is a qualitative research method that uses participant narratives to construct theoretical frameworks that explicate common psychosocial processes by which persons respond to or manage health, social, or organizational challenges.
Grounded theory is used in a wide variety of disciplines such as nursing, medicine, social work, business, education, and the social sciences to guide research on the dynamic ways in which persons and organizations respond to real-world problems. The findings of grounded theory studies often provide foundational information needed to develop psychosocial health interventions, promote strategies of social change, and initiate changes in organization practices.
