Making Your Sources Work For You

Whether you’re writing about an assigned reading or conducting your own research, working with sources is an important part of your study.

But what are you supposed to do with your sources once you have them? What role should they play in your writing? And how do you add your own voice to the conversation? In this webinar, we’ll explore the strategy behind the scholarship so you can feel confident using sources to advance your arguments and strengthen your essays.

The webinar is presented by Matthew Cole, a Preceptor in the Harvard College Writing Program who does research in political theory. Matthew received his PhD in Political Science from Duke University, and has published his research in Political Science Quarterly, Environmental Politics, The Boston Review, and other scholarly outlets.
