Process tracing course with Instats
From May 22-24, 2024, I am offering a fully remote workshop Process Tracing: Introduction ot Methods and Applications. We will cover all important elements of process tracing: research goals and questions that can be answered; explanation and mechanisms; collecting and processing sources using software; interpretation of evidence; presentation of results. The workshop combines a discussion of methodological and practical principles and challenges with a review of how process tracing is done in published research. Detailed course information + registration are available on the course website.

I am offering a course on Qualitative Comparative Analysis from July 22 to July 26 with five hours of remote teaching and interactions per day (including short breaks). The course introduces participants to the logic and techniques of QCA on an applied level using R/RStudio. You will be introduced to the basic principles and requirements of sound QCA research and learn how to implement them using R. At the end of the course, participants will be familiar with the key elements of a QCA study. For more course-related information and registration, please visit the ICPSR website.
