Grounded Theory Exposed

In the most recent issue of FQS, also known as Forum: Qualitative Social Research, there is a wonderful article by Edward Tolhurst titled "Grounded Theory Method: Sociology's Quest for Exclusive Items of Inquiry".  (volume 13, #3, Art 26, September 2012:  http://www.qualitative-research.net/) 

Tolhurst's piece speaks strongly to an issue that I wrote about earlier in this blog (but much less eloquently) re: what I referred to as the "ism's" of qualitative research. 

I think this article will become the "go to" reference for those of us who want to write our way out of the confines of the earlier generation of research strategies.
