Course information
Course content
The course will be most relevant for PhD students in the social sciences of sport, but may also apply to students of other disciplines who are researching issues relating to sport, physical education, physical activity, physical culture, and outdoor education (to name a few). The course includes inputs and discussions on academic writing, writing as a method of inquiry, and interpretative writing for academic audiences. In three sections, the course covers (1) Nuts and bolts of writing, scientific writing, and interpretative writing with and without a theoretical perspective; (2) Examples of interpretative/analytic writing; and (3) Writing an interpretative text.
The course will entail writing exercises and students are expected to independently compose an interpretative text, which may consist of, but not be limited by, interpretation of literature or data, and/or a discussion of scientific data. This writing will be accompanied by peer feedback that serves as revision/review process.
