This is a three-day workshop covering the fundamentals of analytic thinking (including critical thinking, weighing sources, drawing conclusions from incomplete evidence, and structured approaches to analysis to enhance thinking and reporting) and communication of analytic conclusions (including understanding the relationship between the consumer and the end product, organizing any written or oral product, communicating ambiguity, and anticipating questions). While there will be some theoretical content, this is a skills-building workshop focused on practical applications in academic, government, or private sector work. No prior experience or familiarity with the subject is required.
