Manage literature overload

One of the challenges of working with research literature is maintaining a critical approach while keeping track of an extensive range of debates, evidence, and published works. In this workshop, we will explore different strategies for balancing the micro-analysis and the big-picture view. We will examine approaches for organising notes and observations in a confident way that encourages critical thinking rather than information overload. We will look at different analytical, mapping and concept-management tools and software, as well as simple methods for tracking your progress and clarifying your thinking. If you are a PhD student, receive graduate training hours after completing the module. Click on the link to register.
