Charmaz, K., & Mitchell, R. G. (2001). Grounded theory in ethnography. In P. Atkinson, A. Coffey, S. Delamont, J. Lofland, & L. Lofland (Eds.), Handbook of ethnography London: Sage.
This chapter explains the useful role grounded theory can play in making sense of ethnographic data. It acknowledges the challenge facing the researcher who may collect ‘mountains of unconnected data’. Grounded theory by emphasizing the comparative method, can help find connections which are embedded in the data itself. The importance of data collection and its close connection with analysis are explained using grounded theory to guide data collection and analysis.
