This week, I tell you the story of how I chose my dissertation topic! And no, this is not a story about how I found a gap in research and all that. More so, this is the story of how my life experiences led me to an amazing topic. I also discuss how doing research on this topic has positively impacted my career in research in the U.K.!

This week we are discussing bottomless brunch...and then literature reviews. Join me as we discuss how to critically analyze and synthesize literature to write into our literature review using a comprehensive outline. If you have not listened to part one of this series, where I discuss how to find literature and plan and organize for your literature review, I recommend checking that out first!

I have created a "How to Write Your Literature Review in 90 Days" guide that outlines everything you need to do week by week from beginning to end in writing your literature review. This guide is available for free in the digital downloads section on my link tree or on the media page of my website:https://linktr.ee/Doctormandie
