You are invited to the second presentation of the Spring 2021 Methodology Applications Series presentation, led by Jeffrey Smith, associate professor of sociology. The presentation is this Friday, March 12, from noon to 1:30 p.m. via Zoom videoconference.
The event is free and open to the public.
Smith’s presentation, “Using Network Analysis to Measure Social Cohesion: Complete versus Sampled Network Data,” will cover the basic theoretical, methodological and substantive underpinnings of network analysis — which focuses on the relationships connecting actors, rather than on the properties of the actors themselves — and will discuss how network analysis has been used to measure social cohesion.
Discussion will also outline the differences between census, or complete, network data, and sampled network data, showing how each can be used to measure social cohesion.
The Methodology Applications Series is sponsored by CYFS’ MAP Academy.
