This event forms a part of the M Summer. School 2025 from the Mitchell Centre

This course offers an in-depth overview of concepts and measures in social network analysis.

This course is (slightly) more technical than the “Introduction to Network Analysis for Social Sciences with UCINET” and will be using R (instead of UCINET). No prior knowledge of social network analysis or R is required, but a basic knowledge of social network analysis and of quantitative methods can be an advantage.

The course covers the following topics:

Introduction to R and R packages for SNA Importing network data in R, basic manipulation of network data and visualization In-depth overview of centrality measures (including induced centrality) Measures of position with attributes (homophily, diversity, resourcefulness) and structural holes (such as constraint index) Equivalence and blockmodeling Advanced R: multiplex and signed networks, or two-mode networks Advanced R: missing data, or discourse analysis Data collection (Choose among: Survey Data, Online Data or Archival Data) Short introduction to statistical models for SNA In addition, the course offers the participants the opportunity to discuss their own projects with relevant experts from the Mitchell Centre.

Price: £450 - £1,000
