Office of Research Development
Facilitator: Professor Louise Vincent (M.Phil. D.Phil. Oxon) is a qualitative research methodologist with a particular passion for narrative research. She works as a research capacity development consultant for a number of universities – assisting academic staff and masters and doctoral students with a range of research endeavours, including proposal writing, writing for publication, qualitative data generation methods, qualitative data analysis methods, qualitative analysis software, transcription, literature reviewing and the use of theory in qualitative data interpretation.
Target Group: Masters and Doctoral Candidates.
Background: Literature reviews are where our research problems come from. Understanding where the gaps are in the existing academic conversation on your topic provides you with the opportunity to meaningfully enter the conversation and make a worthwhile contribution to knowledge. This is essential not only for those writing theses but also for those who wish to have their work published in academic journals – unless we are able to show clearly where our work fits into an existing academic conversation and how our work adds value to that conversation we are unlikely to have our work published. In this workshop participants are provided with a set of tools to enable them to quickly gain an overview of key authors, key debates, and unanswered questions in any field of study. The workshop deals with why we do a literature review, what a literature review is, how exactly to go about doing a literature review and how to write the literature review.
This workshop is funded by the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET) through the University Capacity Development Grant (UCDG)
