{"product_id":"9781604978285","title":"Grounded Theory and Disability Studies: An Investigation Into Legacies of Blindness","description":"Why a book on a research study using grounded theory, a methodology that is currently celebrating its 50th anniversary? The first reason is that although the theory has now been in existence for many years, there has never been a book recounting its application through numerous interconnected studies, as it was originally intended to be used.\u003cp\u003eThis book represents the first book-length cohesive narrative on how this method was rediscovered by a researcher over the course of a new series of studies, redeveloped in the context of a topic previously undisturbed, applied, poked around, and problems generated (with solutions to these found or not). There has never been a narrative on how a researcher sat down and worked through data over decades in order to evolve her or her own grounded theory and methodology about a specific phenomenon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis study is also a response to the need for a book that mixes the three traditional genres of the literature on methodology-many of which are cited in the following chapters and are themselves subjects-and also adds to a debate on research about research methods, by developing a case study of what it is like to be the human subject that is called the researcher as well as a pursuant of empirical methodology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe purpose of this book is to break a number of the conventions of research texts by writing an academic text on methodology as a case study of building case studies, one that cites classic works in the field and contains autobiographical considerations throughout its account, one that narrates the conscious process of designing a framework from the range of philosophies that were involved in chronicling this topic. Most importantly, however, this book has developed to be the story of being a human enquirer, one with a research and professional trajectory to work towards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis study also offers a wholly different approach by describing the processes and evolutions that brought the author Simon Hayhoe to develop what he terms a grounded methodology,\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cambria Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47031374741744,"sku":"9781604978285","price":104.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781604978285_p0.jpg?v=1763829921","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781604978285","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
