About this event
A strong literature review does far more than summarize previous studies, as it strategically positions your research within an ongoing scholarly conversation. However, many graduate writers struggle to move past "source reporting" (e.g., Smith said X, Jones found Y) to show why their work matters. This literature review workshop introduces proven rhetorical moves used in scholarly literature reviews to establish research gaps and frame your contribution. You will learn how subtle shifts in reporting verbs (e.g., claims vs. demonstrates vs. suggests) and citation placement can highlight your critical stance and keep your voice (not your sources) at the center of your paper. The workshop is designed with multilingual writers in mind, but all are welcome to attend.
