On June 20, Hilde van Meegdenburg (Leiden University) and I presented our co-authored book manuscript “Uncovering Causal Symptoms: Case Study Research, Process Tracing, and Qualitative Comparative Analysis” at the Advances in Qualitative and Multi-Method Research (AQMMR) workshop, held virtually as part of the Institute for Qualitative and Multi-Method Research (IQRM) 2026 at Syracuse University. The manuscript was discussed by James Mahoney (Northwestern University) and Ingo Rohlfing (University of Passau). The workshop was organized by Diana Kapiszewski (Georgetown University) and Sebastian Karcher (Syracuse University), and coordinated with Alan Jacobs (University of British Columbia) and Erica Simmons (University of Wisconsin-Madison) as editors of the Methods for Social Inquiry series published by Cambridge University Press. Many thanks to our discussants and all participants for the constructive and intensive discussion of our manuscript—this has been tremendously helpful.
