During the week of August 11-15, I taught the course “Exploring Causal Complexity with Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA)” at the 29th Summer School in Social Sciences Methods of the Università della Svizzera italiana in Lugano, Switzerland. This has been the 7th time teaching this course in Lugano (since 2016). Thanks to the organizing team and to all participants for their engagement and motivation! It is always a pleasure to see how QCA can be applied to diverse settings across the social sciences. If you’re interested in taking part in 2026, please let me know (registration usually opens in December/January). For impressions from previous years of the USI Summer School, see here.
