Biographical note

Marcel Raab is Senior Researcher at the State Institute for Family Research at the University of Bamberg and Deputy Managing Director of the Journal of Family Research. Previously, he worked as a research assistant at the National Educational Panel Study and the Professorship of Demography at the University of Bamberg, as a research fellow in the research group “Demography and Inequality” at the WZB Berlin Social Science Center, and Assistant Professor for Sociology at the University of Mannheim. In 2011 he was a visiting pre-doctoral fellow at the Center for Research on Inequalities and the Life Course (CIQLE) at Yale University, New Haven. In 2014, he obtained a doctorate in sociology at the University of Bamberg with his dissertation on “Family Effects on Family Formation”. Currently, he is a member of the Advisory Board of the SAA – Sequence Analysis Association. Emanuela Struffolino is Assistant Professor of Economic Sociology at the University of Milan, Department of Social and Political Sciences. Between 2020 and 2021, she was guest Professor of Macrosociology at the Institute of Sociology at the Freie Universität Berlin and then guest Professor of Social Policy at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. From 2015 to 2019 she was postdoctoral fellow at the research group “Demography and Inequality" Research Group at the WZB Berlin Social Science Center. After obtaining her PhD in Sociology at the University of Milano-Bicocca, in 2014 she worked as research fellow at the Swiss National Centre for Competence in Research “LIVES - Overcoming vulnerability: A life-course perspective" at the University of Lausanne. She is a member of the Executive Board of the SAA-Sequence Analysis Association.

Sequence analysis (SA) was developed to study social processes that unfold over time as sequences of events. It has gained increasing attention as the availability of longitudinal data made it possible to address sequence-oriented questions. This volume introduces the basics of SA to guide practitioners and support instructors through the basic workflow of sequence analysis. In addition to the basics, this book outlines recent advances and innovations in SA.  The presentation of statistical, substantive, and theoretical foundations is enriched by examples to help the reader understand the repercussions of specific analytical choices. The extensive ancillary material supports self-learning based on real-world survey data and research questions from the field of life course research. Data and code and a variety of additional resources to enrich the use of this book are available on an accompanying website.
