ONLINE: How to do a Literature Review (Humanities) (REPEAT)
About this workshop
An in-depth workshop on reading and writing literature reviews, this online session aims to cover all the essential fundamentals of what, why, and how of writing a literature review. The workshop includes engagement with own topic towards developing a structure and outline for the literature review; source synthesis, addressing entry points and gaps, and building arguments. The session will also include critical analysis of literature reviews to better understand what makes a ‘good’ literature review, and how to model this in your own writing.
What previous attendees have said about this workshop:
- "I am currently an Honors student and thus we are new to literature reviews, thus I appreciated this workshop as it helped me understand the literature review more clearly."
- "I learnt the importance of critically analysing any written text to get the core information you need."
