DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Marc Sarazin \n\nTitle: Characterising social struct
 ure in schools: the case of a low-SES primary school undergoing a collec
 tive music-making intervention\n\nExisting studies of social structure i
 n schools often focus on students’ affective relational states\, such as
  their friendship or dislike networks. Yet other relational states and e
 vents may also be key in characterising the social structure of schools.
  The current paper presents results from a mixed-methods case study of a
  French primary school taking in students from disadvantaged backgrounds
  or who experience difficulties in their schooling. The study’s design\,
  which uses social network measurements and ethnographic methods to stud
 y the school as it is going through an in-school collective music educat
 ion intervention\, makes it possible to reveal certain key features and 
 processes shaping the school’s social structure. The paper focuses on th
 ree such features and processes that have been addressed in previous net
 work research - geographic proximity\, social contagion\, and reciprocit
 y. It describes how these played out in the school\, how they shaped the
  school’s social structure and student experiences\, and how they were i
 nfluenced by cultural notions present in the school. The paper also argu
 es that these features and processes formed an intense kind of “collecti
 vity” which can be found in other schools and social settings.\n
