  Jet quenching, a standard signature of quark--gluon plasma (QGP) formation in
which jets lose energy by traversing the medium, comprises a well-studied set
of observables in heavy-ion collisions. Significant questions remain, however,
concerning the mechanisms driving this phenomenon. Theoretical work that
attempts to address these open questions offers the path-length dependence of
jet energy loss as one way to better understand the underlying mechanisms of
jet quenching. It has proven challenging, however, to derive explicit values
for the path-length dependence from experimental data. These proceedings
discuss recent results from ALICE that attempt to contribute to our
understanding of this phenomenon, including results of event-shape engineered
jet spectra, the jet-particle $v_{2}$, and correlation studies between hard
triggers and hadrons.
