CWRU - Comparative-Historical Sociology: Home

Course Description
This course offers participants an introduction to comparative-historical methodological approaches to social science research. Participants will employ hands-on approaches to learning about and using innovative methods to apply their knowledge to social science questions. Our starting point will be key questions social scientists must contend with in pursuing answers to questions about social phenomena. After turning to "classic" texts in comparative research, we will study various approaches to comparative-historical research. We will experiment with configurational comparative methods.
