Abstract

Recognising that every PhD is different, the authors discuss three ways to find one’s voice when constructing a literature review. Ryan adopted an interdisciplinary stance, where he compared and contrasted the meanings of key concepts across a range of academic disciplines before arriving at his own definitions. By contrast, Wang began by reading deeply within the specific topic of her thesis, and attempting to find her own critical voice. Lin suggests a reflexive approach in which the candidate and their supervisors share and enrich each other’s cultural capital; this should lead to the candidate finding their own voice and eventually becoming a legitimate participant in the academic community of practice.
