Overview

    Mirroring is a technique used to guide the thesis crafting and to assure that your thesis has just the right coverage.

    In a nutshell, mirroring is the technique of looking for consistency across the thesis chapters. If your Chapter 4 on the Findings suggests thathigh fluctuation is in large parts a result ofbullying, then your Chapter 2 Literature Review should similarly cover this(high fluctuation andbullying), and your Chapter 1 Introduction should be setting the scene onthat matter. Likewise, your Chapter 5 Analysis should pick-up onthis, and Chapter 6 Conclusionshould also.

    While this sounds quite simple and straight forward, unfortunately thesis structures often read generic or confused.

    This webinar attempts to provide hands-on instructions on how to tie the threads together, weaving key messages throughout your thesis.

    To maximise the learning for participants, questions may be posted to the webinar discussion board after your registration. These will be addressed during the webinar.

Key Take-Aways

This webinar will assist doctoral students in:

  1. Understanding how the different parts of the thesis relate to each other.
  2. Using mirroring as a technique to develop the structure of your thesis.
  3. Using mirroring as an analytical tool so to critically assess if all relevant fields are covered.
  4. REDUCING THE TIME:‘time to problem understanding’,‘time to results’,‘time to key literature’,‘time to methodology crafting’,‘time to write the thesis up’, and ultimately‘time wasted’.

Hosts
Dr. Andreas Meiszner

Since 2012, I have tutored, mentored and coached beyond 500 professional doctoral students (mid to seniors, aged 35 to 70) both with the University of Liverpool Management School’s Doctorate in Business Administration (DBA) program (UK), and since 2016 also with DoctorateHub. This allowed me to understand how to tackle problems at scale, be it the tame, the complex, or the wicked.

500+ students also implies 500+ workplace-based problems which I had the chance to look at. And while working with such an array of problems allows for quite some learningit also has shown to me that very often it is quite exhaustive for such grown up and seasoned research novices. In response to this, we thus decided to set up the DoctorateHub, so to provide training, mentoring, and coaching services to all those that struggle to get their workplace-based issues identified, analysed, understood, written up in a thesis, and ultimately resolved. 

I am also one of the DoctorateHub’s Co-founders with a particular focus on strategic development and building up of the various DoctorateHub support services that we provide. 

With this I am looking forward to work with you, wherever you are in your doctoral research journey.

Learning from people from different parts of the world is exhilarating. May there be more of this kind of endeavor in the future.

Thesis stage: Research planning: Getting ready for data collection

I have just signed up to this hub and it has been insightful. It was quite daunting at first and I’m thinking if do-able. But with me in this platform I can foresee a clearer future. Thanks to the organisers.

Thesis stage: Post Doctoral & Publishing

As a postgraduate supervisor, who is already a Ph.D. holder, I was delighted to find a resource that I can continue to develop from. I will continue to share information about DoctorateHub with my students and peers. Thank you.

Thesis stage: Thesis research proposal development

I felt way better after the session especially that I got to talk to other PhD candidates that are struggling like me. I felt hope because my advisor never answers so I felt like I could have some guidance here.

Excellent free service, attracting outstanding international speakers, and connecting on a global level.
