About this workshop

This workshop will introduce students to the principles and practices of effectively interrogating the literature in preparation for developing strong academic arguments:

• Concept mapping your topic (briefly revisited)
• Thematic and active reading
• Developing critical questions
• Literature review matrix
• Analysing the literature

This workshop (2 of 6) can be attended as a ‘standalone’ session; however, it is most valuably experienced as part of the full series, which navigates through the research process.

NB: If you wish to attend an in person workshop and have disability access requirements, please email disabilityservice@uct.ac.za and CC pgdevelopment@uct.ac.za to arrange the appropriate services, where available.
