IN PERSON: Writing your Research: Thesis Argument II (Humanities)
About this workshop
What previous attendees have said about this workshop:
- "I've been feeling overwhelmed with the perspectives of other researchers in my field as well as the voices of my research participants. I like the fact that I was reminded that this is my research study and my voice counts just as much as anyone else's."
- "I've been struggling with my writing, so even though the workshop looked at Writing one's Argument, it essentially helped me re-look at my entire process."
- "Its excellent, could all the sessions be in person!! "
