Programme Description:

You’ll have absorbed a huge amount of material around your research topic – and now you need to review this literature in a way that’s accessible, persuasive, and justifies your own contribution to the field. But when do you stop reading and start writing? What do you do when you’re feeling overwhelmed by all your notes? And how do you make your own voice heard among the voices of so many other scholars?
In this half-day workshop we’ll explore practical ways to find and file source material and then extract the information you need in the most efficient way. You’ll also practice stepping back from your notes to shape a strong narrative that tells the ‘story so far’ in a clear and compelling way, thereby setting the stage for your own contribution.

• Understand the purpose of a literature review.
• Explore more efficient ways of organising sources and extracting information.
• Establish a strong structure for your literature review.
• Explain the context and need for your research in a way that's compelling and
persuasive.
