Track 1.??-?May 20 - May 22, 2024

Led by??,??and?, this course provides a basic introduction to the theory and method of network research.? Topics include theoretical perspectives, social capital, and the nuts and bolts of doing a network analysis using UCINET and NetDraw software (both Windows programs). Starting?May 20th, it meets?Monday,?Tuesday, through Wednesday?from 9:30am-11:30am ET?(New York time)?and 12:30pm-2:30pm ET (12 contact hours) and provides homework assignments and access to a TA.?

Track 2.??-?May 20 - May 23, 2024??

Taught by?,? this is a more technical and in-depth workshop focusing on the concepts and methods of SNA, with particular emphasis on relating network measures to research goals. The mathematics behind the measures is explained, as well as how to use the measures in a research context. UCINET for Windows software is used extensively. Starting May 20, the course meets Monday through Thursday, from 10am-12:00pm ET and 12:30pm-2:30pm ET each day.?The course is closely tied to the book?, 3rd edition,?by Borgatti, Everett, Johnson and Agneessens (2024).

Track?3.??-?May 20 - May 24, 2024?

Taught by?.?This is a more technical and in-depth workshop than the intro workshop, focusing on the concepts and methods of SNA, particularly as they apply to specific research objectives.?This workshop uses specialized R packages, such as igraph, sna and xUCINET, rather than Windows UCINET.? Basic?familiarity with R is helpful but not required.?The mathematics behind the measures is explained, as well as how to use the measures in practice. The course is designed to be accompanied by the book??by Borgatti, Everett, Johnson and Agneessens (2022). The course meets from Monday May 20 to Friday May 24. The first four days (20-23 May) consisting of two sessions: 9:30-11:45am ET and 12:30-2:15pm ET, followed by an exercise session from 2:30-3:00pm. On Friday morning?May 24, we meet from 9:30 to 11:45am ET. Participants will receive homework,?which includes running analyses and interpreting results. The course costs $1800 ($900 for students).?

?

Track?4.??-?May 27 - May 31, 2024?

Taught by?, this course covers ERGMs and SAOMs, two families of statistical models used to model the presence or absence of ties. While the course is introductory, prior familiarity with both statistics and network analysis is strongly advised.?The course is supported by a series of video lectures. There will be time to discuss your specific research questions, data concerns, and interpretation of your model.?The course costs $1800?($900?for students).?
