Abstract

As with many aspects of life during the age of covid-19, the summer issue of the Grounded Theory Review has been delayed. We are pleased to publish, however late, this issue. The Grounded Theory Review is dedicated to supporting researchers who conduct classic grounded theory research. Classic grounded theory is a unique method of discovering never before recognized processes and patterns of human behavior, a method well-suited to studying current issues and processes.

These are troubling days of pandemic illness, cultural upheaval, racial animus, international disruption, and political turmoil. Although politicians and opinion journalists predict the future, the coming months are uncertain. We are in uncharted territory. In response, particularly to covid-19, structural and psychological social processes are changing. Education, family life, health care, work life, business, consumerism, sports, trade, entertainment, government institutions, and travel are all changing.
