CPED WEBINAR: THE LITERATURE REVIEW
This webinar draws on the Scaffolding the Language of Power framework (Strom, 2024) to explore a major task of the second chapter of the EdD dissertation: synthesizing relevant literature. We will first examine the literature review as a specific sub-genre of doctoral level writing and identify its major purposes and the linguistic tasks to meet them--such as synthesizing literature. We will then delve more deeply into methods for supporting student synthesizing of literature at a macro-level (creating an organizational schema) and micro-level (building out paragraphs with three levels of claims and corresponding evidence).
CRITICAL POSTS AERA PRE-CONFERENCE
This pre-conference (8am-4pm) includes two sessions. Participants may sign up for one or both when registering for the AERA annual meeting.

This workshop focuses on supporting audience understanding when communicating about critical posthuman and postfoundational research in publications, job materials, and talks.
