Creating a Narrative through your Literature Review
13th Feb 2023 10:00am-12:00pm
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.
