Social and Political Networks
This objective of this course is to introduce researchers to social network analysis, with special emphasis on applications in sociology and political science. This is both a theory and a methods course. In a typical week we read two articles about networks of people, organizations, and countries. One article introduces a theoretical concept, key hypothesis, notion or insight from social network analysis. During the first hour of each meeting we discuss this theoretical article. The other article is of an empirical/methodological nature and test the hypothesis from the theoretical article or applies its network-analytic technique in some social or political context. In many cases this is a top journal article with available data and code for replication and extended analysis. The second part of each meeting is a virtual lab; we look at the data, practice the methods using social network analysis software (through instructor screen-sharing in Zoom).
