Writing a Literature Review: Structure, synthesis, and critical engagement

Workshop overview

This one-day online session offers dedicated time and support for postgraduate researchers to develop their literature reviews with clarity and confidence. Through guided input on what a literature review is (and isn’t), common structural approaches (chronological, thematic), and how to align your review with your research questions, participants will gain practical strategies for critical synthesis. The session includes lunch break, peer exchange on common challenges, and focused writing time to make real progress on your review.
