It is a critical, yet often daunting task for new researchers because it requires making the logic of intellectually rigorous theory-building process explicit and accessible.
This practical workshop aims to demystify what constitutes an effective theory building process and to provide an understanding of, and practical skills for, constructing and communicating a fit for purpose theory in the context of doctoral research.  [/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line”][vc_column_text]By the end of the workshop, attendees will:

Learn about characteristics of a ‘good’ theory and different theory types;
Explore different approaches to and tools for theory building process;
Learn to select and apply theory building approaches in hands-on exercises;
Practise and receive theory development tips for their projects.
