This is a core introductory course on network analysis for social scientists. The course covers the main network-analytical concepts, methods, and data collection/processing techniques for social sciences. The course is largely based around the use of UCINET point-and-click software and is broadly accessible.
The course is hands-on, allowing participants the opportunity to gain experience in analysing real-world social network data, and also offers participants the option to discuss their own projects in network analysis with relevant experts from the Mitchell Centre.
The course covers the following topics:
Introduction to SNA
Introduction to UCINET
Transformation and network visualization
Local node-level measures
Group-level measures
Centrality measures
Two-mode networks
Subgroups/community detection
Data collection (Choose among: Survey Data, Online Data* or Archival Data)
Projects
No prior knowledge of network analysis or quantitative methods is required for this course. Basic computer usage skills are the only requirement for this course.
