ABSTRACT

Welcome to the second edition of Situational Analysis in Practice, an all-new reader of articles on the qualitative method of Situational Analysis used in interpretive research. The first edition (Clarke, Friese & Washburn 2015) was inspired by a session, invited by Norman Denzin, of innovative papers that focused on using this method. This session was presented at the International Congress of Qualitative Inquiry in Urbana, Illinois in 2013. Those reflective papers, along with the original research publications based on Situational Analysis of their authors, became the core of the first edition. Its title was derived from Strauss and Corbin’s (1997) Grounded Theory in Practice.
