On October 31 and November 1, I participated in the first MethodsNET Conference at UC Louvain in Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium. Founded in late 2021, MethodsNET is a network and community of methods experts and practitioners that hosts and supports methods training and development, including the Summer School in Social Sciences Methods at the Università della Svizzera italiana, among others. I presented two papers: “Uncovering Causal Symptoms: Combining Process Tracing and Qualitative Comparative Analysis in Case Study Research”, co-authored with Hilde van Meegdenburg (Universiteit Leiden) and “Counterfactuals and Qualitative Comparative Analysis” co-authored with Gizem Kadıoğlu and Michael Gibbert (both Università della Svizzera italiana). Thanks to the organizing team led by Benoît Rihoux (UC Louvain) and to the participants at our panels for the fruitful discussions and constructive feedback.
