This online course delves into to key components of qualitative case studies and process tracing for the purpose of making causal claims about effects or mechanisms. Upon completing this course, you will have a solid understanding of the concepts and techniques covered, coupled with hands-on experience in their application.

The course combines asynchronous pre-class assignments, such as readings and pre-recorded videos, and 2.5 hours of live teaching each day. In each live session, you will work with your own projects or published case studies to illustrate concepts from the methods literature.
