Abstract

This issue of the Review clearly illustrates the increasing reach of classic grounded theory. Three of the papers included are the work of novice grounded theorists - from Iran, Finland and the USA. The authors of these papers have attended seminars with Dr. Barney Glaser and have benefitted as well from the advice and support of more experienced grounded theorists through the Grounded Theory Institute, established over a decade ago by Sociology Press to provide a forum for networking, learning and mentoring among those scholars motivated to enhance their understanding and practice of classic grounded theory methodology.
