ESU 2020 Webinar Session Five

Conducting Literature Reviews and an Introduction to Meta-analysis

The ability to take stock of existing research is central to nearly every research project and an indispensable element of any researcher’s core skill set. Yet traditional ‘narrative’ reviews can end up with narrow and biased views of the research at hand. Join this session led by Associate Professor Nina Rosenbusch from Wilfrid Laurier University and Professor Markus Reihlen from Leuphana University to visit the best practices for literature reviews, and to receive an introduction to how meta-analyses – both quantitative as well as less-known qualitative ones – are conducted. The session is hosted by Leuphana University at Lüneburg.
