Abstract Details

This session is fully booked. Only participants who registered for this session with their festival booking can attend. This workshop addresses the twin challenges of becoming a critical reader of academic literature in social science fields and a self-critical writer of literature reviews, including those forming part of a thesis. The presenters are co-authors of the textbook ‘Critical Reading and Writing for Postgraduates’ (Sage). The workshop draws on material from the 3rd edition (2016). Participants will be invited to bring a published academic journal article that they wish to engage with critically, reporting the authors' research findings. The workshop focuses on preparing to undertake an in-depth analysis of this article, using frameworks from the book.

The level of the session is: Accessible
