Creating a Narrative through your Literature Review  

15th Feb 2022 10:00am-12:00pm 

To attend this course please book on Inkapth. Inkpath is an app available to all Techne students, if you're not already using please click here to find out how to get started.

 You've read widely on your topic and you're ready to write your literature review, but how do you structure the review so it does justice to the literature, is relevant to your research and makes sense to the reader? Conventions vary by discipline and sub-discipline, but all literature reviews need a strong narrative thread. This workshop de-mystifies the literature review, helps you identify the purpose of your review for your reader, and offers techniques to develop the clear and coherent narrative that is such an important part of your project.

This workshop will be run by Anne Wilson. Anne has a background in journalism (features) and corporate communication (scripts, speeches, screen media copy), combining her writing with facilitating writing workshops in HE. She was Royal Literary Fund Fellow at Brunel University for three years, and now runs workshops on academic writing and professional communication for postgraduates and staff at Brunel and other universities. She also coaches students for the 3MT competition (won by Brunel in 2017). She has recently collaborated with the Brunel Occupational Therapy department to investigate what kind of feedback helps students to improve their academic writing.
