Reading and understanding theoretical concepts is only part of the work of an academic. Making these concepts meaningful in your own writing is crucial to a strong conceptual framework, and to the depth and quality of your analysis. This session helps you find ways to integrate theory in your writing, find theoretical ideas in adjacent disciplines, and help you bring theory and practice together.
