In this interactive session we will explore in what ways maps and mapping can be helpful for doctoral research, in particular for data analysis. The facilitator will draw on mappings from her own thesis on freelance language teachers’ Twitter-based professional development to illustrate how maps can disrupt linear thinking and help gain deeper insights into the research topic. Participants are asked to provide examples of maps that could be useful for their research on a poster wall (https://padlet.com/martina_emke/maps4research ) prior to the session. This information will be used for discussion during the session and on the event forum.
