This workshop introduces participants to the literature review, an essential part of research writing in any discipline. Participants will learn the various purposes of a literature review; techniques for efficient and effective reading; strategies for synthesizing sources to avoid encyclopedic writing; and options for organization and structure. Participants will leave prepared to write a literature review that justifies their research question and creates space for their contribution to the scholarly conversation. Please note: This workshop will focus primarily on understanding the literature review as a genre and using writing as a tool for thinking throughout the research process, rather than on critical library research skills (e.g., locating databases, using Boolean operators).
