<p class="msolistparagraph0"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Cambria","serif";color:black">The focus of the workshop will be on flexible use of the grounded theory method, we have a very interesting program with the typical mix of advanced
and supportive sessions that make this workshop so unique and valuable. Following from last year’s successful “Slam Session,” we are repeating the session of 4 min presentations followed by 5 min of discussion. The purpose of the presentation is to have researchers
bring in issues they are struggling with in using GTM for their research projects (during any stage of the project: data collection, analysis, writing, or publication). The participation in this part of the workshop is on the first-come first-serve basis
with the focus on covering a broad spectrum of questions (maximum 8 slots are available). In order to present please send an email to
<a href="mailto:w.fernandez@unsw.edu.au">w.fernandez@unsw.edu.au</a> by 1 November 2014, answering the following questions :</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
