Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The aim of this seminar is to give graduate students an overview of the text based research process. This seminar will help students to:

- decide what theoretical and empirical areas (literatures) best frame their research.
- develop search techniques for identifying key authors, institutions and peer reviewed journals, edited volumes and books in the library and on the web.
- determine what knowledge within these sources is most pertinent to their research interest.
- experiment with strategies for organizing the knowledge they note down into a manageable working literature review.
- transform an ordinary annotated review into a critical argument that supports their own research question.
- develop or refine the Literature Review for their thesis.

The seminar is designed to compliment the Social Science Research Methods seminar, in which graduate students develop a research design for their thesis. Students will also have the opportunity to develop presentation skills as well as be exposed to a variety of interesting literature each is reviewing.
