Response to Charmaz

Please address the following in your blog:

1. If you were explaining grounded theory to a fellow Ph.D. student, how would you define it in terms that would be familiar to her/him?  This should be three sentences max.

2. Compare grounded theory to critical narrative inquiry and critical ethnography.  How are they similar/different in terms of purpose/underlying beliefs; processes and procedures; definitions of critical stance/social justice; and how do they connect methodology with theory? 

3. What in this article resonates with you as a researcher, or even as an observer of human behavior and action?
