This workshop is intended for students at the beginning stages of reading and writing about a particular topic. We will explore the typical structure of literature reviews, consider possible variations, and explain how to write one. Participants will learn approaches central to the work of a literature review, including moving from summary to synthesis of sources, identifying themes in the research literature, and establishing inclusion and exclusion criteria. We will also discuss how AI can assist at this stage of the writing process, while ensuring critical analysis and synthesis remain authentically your own work.

Workshops are recorded via Zoom; Please contact the WSS coordinator at warnerwritingsupport@warner.rochester.edu for access to the recording.
