How do I use this calendar?

You can click on an event to display further information about it.

The toolbar above the calendar has buttons to view different events. Use the left and right arrow icons to view events in the past and future. The button inbetween returns you to today's view. The button to the right of this shows a mini-calendar to let you quickly jump to any date.

The dropdown box on the right allows you to see a different view of the calendar, such as an agenda or a termly view.

If this calendar has tags, you can use the labelled checkboxes at the top of the page to select just the tags you wish to view, and then click "Show selected". The calendar will be redisplayed with just the events related to these tags, making it easier to find what you're looking for.

"How optimal is optimal matching?"

Most of the sequence analysis literature in the social sciences relies on the optimal matching algorithm. Imported and adapted from computer science and genetics in the 1980s, this tool has enabled unique advances in the study of professional careers, life course and spatial trajectories, time use patterns, regime change or electoral behaviours.

Yet its foundations remain surprisingly frail, with heterogeneous justifications and uses. A closer examination reveals a complex and varying combination of theoretical principles, authoritative case studies and powerful statistical procedures. However, the algorithm remains attractive, but unevenly across theoretical expectations, contexts of applications and analytical strategies.
