About the Workshop
All research begins with questions that guide the work of scholars as they seek to contribute new knowledge to their field of study. This two-day workshop will unpack key scholarly moves involved in working with sources—summarising, analysing, conceptualising, and theorising—that allow scholars to build upon existing knowledge and arrive at something of their own to say in response to their research question. Aside from inviting the participants to practise these scholarly moves by drafting responses to an assigned question, this hands-on workshop will include writing and rewriting sessions to guide the participants as they learn how to complicate commonplace ideas and organise them in coherent paragraphs while engaging with and incorporating feedback on their writing.
