The dissertation that I chose:
Malhotra, P. (2023). Bounded Social Media Places (Doctoral dissertation, University of Washington).
Structure (Please review the word doc. It’s more clear than the following):
1. dissertation summary: a paragraph that captures the essence of a work in four-seven sentences:
1) name, title + verb (e.g., argues) + main claim of work (what part A) – it should be detailed about the author and key terms;
2) major pieces of evidence used to support that claim (what part B);
3) purpose of work + intention + explanation of how the author develops and supports the major claim (thesis statement) (why); and
4) description of audience + relationship the author develops with that audience (how).
2. IMPORTANT: Methods Analysis
1) What methods do the author use?
In this dissertation:

Professor’s comment:
Often reading other people’s defended dissertations can be helpful to provide you with a better sense of what a dissertation looks like and a general sense of what is expected. At the time I conducted my master’s thesis (a qualitative study), I found it very helpful to review a former student’s qualitative dissertation study, especially the method section, to obtain an idea of what I would need to write. That dissertation study was quite different from my project but I was able to use it as an example.
