Post-doc Glaser started a research collaboration with Anselm Strauss at University of California, San Francisco. Together they wrote Awareness of Dying (1965) based on a study of dying in Californian hospitals. The book was a success. As a response to the many methodological questions on the dying study the first grounded theory (GT) methodology appeared in 1967 co-authored with Strauss - Discovery of Grounded Theory. In 1970 Glaser started the publishing company Sociology Press specializing in grounded theory methodologies and readers. The second grounded theory methodology was written by Glaser in 1978 (Theoretical Sensitivity). Thereafter Glaser has published several readers of grounded theory and 4 more methodologies and traveled throughout the world giving workshops and seminars to many researchers.
