Sammanfattning	Critical Straussian Grounded Theory combines the systematic coding procedures of Strauss and Corbin's grounded theory — open, axial, and selective coding leading to a paradigm model — with a critical theoretical stance that foregrounds power, inequality, and social structure. The researcher does not merely describe a social process but interrogates the conditions that produce and sustain it, connecting emergent theory to broader structures of domination or marginalization.	Critical constructivist grounded theory combines Kathy Charmaz's constructivist grounded theory with an explicit critical theoretical lens — typically feminist, critical race, or Freireian frameworks — to generate theory that not only explains a social process but also interrogates power relations, structural inequalities, and ideological forces that shape participants' experiences. The result is grounded theory with an emancipatory intent.
