Advanced Applications of QCA (Qualitative Comparative Analysis) in R
This seminar on advanced set-theoretic methods for the social sciences focuses on applied Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA). This method is used in fields as diverse as political science, public policy, international relations, sociology, business and management, organizational studies, and even musicology. This seminar will enable participants to produce cutting edge QCA-based research through hands-on coverage … Continue reading Advanced Applications of QCA (Qualitative Comparative Analysis) in R

Introduction to Necessary Condition Analysis (NCA)
For your research, if you've ever wanted to understand and model causal effects in a rigorous way that reflects the complexity of the real-world. NCA understands a cause as a necessary (but not sufficient) condition, rather than a probabilistic cause (as in regression analysis). “Necessary” means that a certain outcome will not occur without a … Continue reading Introduction to Necessary Condition Analysis (NCA)

Introduction to Causal Data Analysis and Modeling with Coincidence Analysis
This workshop offers an intensive 4-day introduction to causal modeling with Coincidence Analysis (CNA), a relatively new configurational comparative method of data analysis geared towards causal complexity, which has seen a considerable uptick in applications in recent years. No prior knowledge of CNA is required. In plenary lectures, the main developer of CNA, Michael Baumgartner, and … Continue reading Introduction to Causal Data Analysis and Modeling with Coincidence Analysis

Set Theory, Constructivism, and Science: A Symposium on James Mahoney’s The Logic of Social Science
Set Theory, Constructivism, and Science: A Symposium on James Mahoney’s The Logic of Social Science
In this hybrid symposium, a panel of scholars discuss James Mahoney’s recent book, The Logic of Social Science. The book develops a scientific constructivist approach that uses set-theoretic analysis to avoid essentialist biases in the production of knowledge. This scientific constructivist approach recognizes that social categories depend on collective understandings for their existence, but it insists … Continue reading Set Theory, Constructivism, and Science: A Symposium on James Mahoney’s The Logic of Social Science
