  1. Literature Review

  2. Purpose • Foundation of ideas (classics and contemporary) • Important themes and models (strands and examples) • Touchstone: • Meaningful work • Comparison, setting the bar • How does my works compare with influential works?

  3. Two questions • How can we use literature effectively? • How does the literature get in our way and prevent us from doing our best work? • Lit review as setting and context • Making a table, standard pieces but leaving room for your own work

  4. Becker’s research on deviance • Label became the most important than about the person • Power of a label/characteristic to override other characteristics • Drew on existing literature to frame his argument

  5. Critical question • Why haven’t you looked at other theories to explore your argument? • Take a look at the other “conversations” to discover other approaches • May provide a fresh take for you

  6. Ideological hegemony • “being trapped in the categories of your time and place” • Search for the dominant ideology and how it has shaped your thinking • Not an easy task • “routinely inspect competing ways of talking about the same subject matter”
