Overview
This workshop will introduce you to tools and techniques, such as mirroring, to take your thesis structure to the next level.

Research is not a linear process, and yet most if not all of the theses are written up in a way that the research has been taken place in a linear way. Moreover, the amount of literature related to the research problem or related to possible methods is overwhelming and endless. It therefore is of no surprise that it can be challenging to build up a thesis that has a consistent narrative in place, covers the expectable and is ‘just right’.

Luckily there a number of tools and techniques that allow you to work out the structure of your thesis, understand how robust and relevant your findings are, and to assure that your thesis provides answers to the crucial and simple questions, such as “… relevant to what?”.

The workshop will provide hand-on training to allow participants to establish boundaries and to learn about suitable approaches and techniques, such as mirroring, so to juggle across the various chapters of their thesis and to build up their thesis structure and narrative. It will sharpen their notion that consistency, preciseness and constant re-examination and revision all matter so to get the thesis written up and done.

Participants are expected to bring the following to the workshop:

  1. A recent draft of their thesis,
  2. A Table of Content of their thesis,
  3. A one page abstract of their research.

Key Take-Aways

Participants in this workshop will:

  1. Advance their understanding on how to work out the structure of their thesis.
  2. Train how to use mirroring techniques so to connect the different parts of their research work and across chapters.
  3. Understand how robust and relevant their findings are, and what are the likely next actions in their research journey.
