This UL Doctoral College webinar is designed to demystify theoretical frameworks and make them a powerful driver of doctoral research quality, clarity, and impact. 

You will learn how to choose, articulate, and apply the right theories so research questions, methods, and analysis line up coherently—and impress supervisors and examiners with a framework that guides your study. 

 

What attendees will gain

- A clear, working definition of a theoretical framework as the blueprint or toolbox that aligns problems, concepts, and methods, enabling rigorous interpretation and generalisation of findings.

- Practical steps to build a framework: define key concepts, evaluate and select relevant theories from the literature, and show how the study uses them to address identified gaps.

- Strategies for handling multiple theories: compatibility, complementarity, trade-offs, and when to prioritise one lens over another for analytic focus and coherence.
