I’m a PHD in Sociology candidate at University of Karachi, Pakistan. My research area is environmental behavior. I’ve also worked as an adjunct lecturer in a private university hear in Karachi. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I’m familiar with quantitative research designs. However, my problems have been in taking the full advantage of the statistical software’s like SPSS, stata, and R. SPSS accessibility have been widely discussed in blind community. So I do not think I need to further explain about the difficulties I’ve faced in using SPSS. Some users of r find it to be the best solution. But I find its learning curve bit to steep for me. Mainly because in developing countries software support and guidance to blind students is non-existent in many cases. And I’m one of these cases. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I’ll be asking many questions, and would try my best to answer the questions that others may have. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>For now, I’d like to ask is anyone familiar with the grounded theory analysis or thematic analysis. I’ve read about grounded theory, but few confusions are still there particularly about developing memos and sensitizing concepts. The response of anyone who’s familiar with grounded theory or thematic analysis would be most appreciated.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Regards,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Faiz.<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
