SUMMARY:Comparative Case Study Design
DESCRIPTION:A solid foundation in comparative case studies is essential for comparative social scientists. This five-day in-person course provides you with the skills needed to design your qualitative comparative case study research\, based on your own and/or other applied research projects. The course covers the topics of causal complexity\, concept formation\, casing and case selection\, logics and strategies of comparison\, accounting for context and time\, choosing data collection and analysis strategies\, as well as conceptual and research-practical issues when drawing inferences in case-oriented research.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA)
DESCRIPTION:Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) is a set-theoretic technique for comparing intermediate to large numbers of cases that models causal complexity to analyze necessary or sufficient conditions for an outcome. This five-day online course introduces QCA as an approach and a technique\, its main assumptions\, its standard procedures and operations\, and the technical environment used for its application. Participants gain a thorough understanding of the formal logic of set-theoretic methods and QCA\, including topics such as Boolean algebra\, causal complexity\, sets and their calibration\, necessity\, and sufficiency. The course discusses the logic and analysis of truth tables and the most important problems that emerge when this analytical tool is used for exploring social science data. Right from the beginning\, participants are exposed to performing set-theoretic analyses with the relevant R software packages using data from published applications in the social sciences.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Causal Process Tracing
DESCRIPTION:Process tracing is a research method for tracing causal mechanisms using detailed\, within-case empirical analysis of how a causal process plays out in an actual case. This five-day online course provides participants with a working understanding of the core elements of process tracing (PT) as a robust case study method\, enabling them to utilize it in their own research – either alone or in combination with other methods. The course will discuss PT’s relative strengths and limitations\, different variants\, and how it can be combined productively with other methods in multi-method designs such as experiments or small/medium-n comparisons. The core elements of PT will be introduced\, focusing on what we are actually “tracing” using PT (the causal process)\, how we are able to make evidence-based causal inferences using within-case\, mechanistic evidence\, and how we can combine within-case and cross-case knowledge.

SUMMARY:Qualitative Comparative Analysis at AQCA2023
DESCRIPTION:A one-day hybrid workshop that provides a ground-up introduction to Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) and fuzzy sets. Designed for those who are new to QCA or wish to refresh their knowledge\, participants will receive intensive instruction and hands-on experience with QCA software. By the end of the workshop\, you will be able to begin designing and executing research projects using the set-analytic approach. Lunch is included. Access to the workshop is included in the AQCA registration fee.
