Dear Colleagues: A week or so ago, I inquired about disability studies
research which uses grounded theory methodology. I received three responses
noted below.
One response pointed out that grounded theory specifically relies on the
emergence of theory from the data. Adherence to social model
interpretations of disability, in contrast, presume discrimination as at
least one aspect of the data in advance of any "evidence" to support it.
There appears, at least on the face of it, an inherent contradiction between
use of grounded theory and social model analyses of disability oppression. I
am struggling with this as I write my methods chapter. Any additional
insights into these issues are very welcome. Thanks, Lilith

From Beth Omansky:
I believe Sally French uses grounded theory in her research(particularly on
vis. impaired physiotherapists) and also she and John Swain have at least
one book about research methods -- all dis. studies. Goodley and Lawthon's
(maybe more than two authors) Researching life Stories examines various
theories and methodologies for use with the social model, including grounded
theory specifically.
