Hi everyone,
I came across this excellent post by Pat Thomson the other day outlining what goes in a thesis discussion. Enjoy!

This post comes back again at the discussion “chapter”. It seems you can never say too much about this tricky bit of the thesis.
A caveat before I start. This post is written from a social science perspective and offers a fairly orthodox view of what a thesis has to do. I think it has applicability in other disciplines – but do read this from your particular perspective. I’m not attempting a one size fits all explanation here. If that’s OK with you, read on.
The key to the discussion, whether it is a chapter or not, is understanding its place in the logic of the thesis argument. It’s the nearly final step in a chain of moves. And the discussion leads up to the big claims for contribution and significance.
