3. Don't forget the place of your theory in the literature review. Use it as a way of illumination: what would my theory say about this?

2. Theory, however, is not perfect. Every theory is flawed. Acknowledging your theory's limitations is very important whilst maintaining it as the golden thread that runs through your #Thesis

1. Theory must be an excellent fit to all 'parts' of your study: positionality, ontology, epistemology, axiology, methodology (all the OLOGIES!). This must be defensible and nods to other theories, and why they were rejected, very clear.

In the run-up to IPDA England's first 'Spotlight Session' all about Theory, and during my final #EdD edits, I've been reflecting on my own application of #Theory
Here are 3 Saturday morning thoughts. Let me know what you think & maybe sign up to the session too.
