Dissertation workshops
This webinar focuses on the importance of preparing and planning your social science dissertation. Charlotte and Jamie discuss issues such as choosing a topic and the most appropriate method, considering the ethical sensitivities of your project, as well as top tips for managing your supervisor. The webinar draws on their own experiences of convening a large interdisciplinary dissertation module, as well as input from recent social science graduates. Some of these themes are explored in more detail in Brookfield, C and Lewis, J (2022) Sage Super Quick Skills: Plan your Dissertation.
