Course description:

The aim of the course is to train students in the immediate post- fieldwork (or data-gathering) phase to analytically organise the empirical research findings and relate these to a relevant body of theory and scholarship. This will support (a) the presentation and analysis of these findings, (b) sharpen existing or generate new conceptual insights, (c) arrive at a feasible design for the thesis.

This is a 2-week course using the format of a collaborative laboratory, where participants are encouraged to work together in an open and constructive work environment. Four scheduled workshop session days will focus on the following:

Day 1: Relating your research data & findings to your research questions as a starting point for analysis

Day 2: Exploring (additional) theory, concepts, and debates

Day 3: Know and show your data: analytical mapping and written presentation of research material

Day 4: Designing the thesis and drafting a thesis introduction
