Introductions
1. Introduction:
• background/familiar knowledge about the area of research: scene-setting (the
‘once upon a time’ principle); what the dissertation is about and why you chose
this topic (academically/intellectually and even personally, if conventions allow)
• Thesis statement: research question/ argument/ claim/ hypothesis/ problem –
narrows/funnels down the field of research to a niche.
• Brief indication of the method and/or evidence used
• Map/overview of the work to follow (CAW 2011)
