Intro to Qualitative Research Methods: Critical-Constructivist Grounded Theory - Dr. Heidi Levitt

Curious about how qualitative research can advance critical perspectives in psychology? This workshop offers a deep dive into Critical-Constructivist Grounded Theory (CCGT)—a powerful and pragmatic method for researchers seeking to center marginalized voices and challenge dominant narratives. Led by qualitative research expert Dr. Heidi Levitt, this session introduces participants to the foundations of qualitative inquiry while walking through the unique contributions of CCGT. As a categorizing approach, CCGT shares familiar ground with methods like thematic and narrative analysis, but it stands apart in its explicit alignment with critical frameworks—including critical race and queer perspectives. Whether you're new to qualitative methods or looking to expand your methodological toolkit, this session will equip you with tools to design and carry out research that reflects the complexity and lived realities of underrepresented communities.
