DESCRIPTION:Raffaele Vacca\nStatale University of Milan\n\nUnequal ties: 
 describing and explaining stratification in personal networks \n\nPerson
 al networks influence individual behaviors and outcomes in such diverse 
 areas as health and well-being\, employment and professional advancement
 \, and immigrant incorporation. Personal networks are also highly variab
 le in contemporary societies\, reflecting and reinforcing inequalities i
 n other domains of social life. Sources of diversity and variation in pe
 rsonal relationships have multiplied in recent decades\, yet there is al
 so evidence that stratification in personal networks often follows old d
 imensions of inequality such as socioeconomic and migration status. This
  seminar will review essential concepts in personal network research and
  illustrate them with two recent projects investigating inequalities in 
 social support and personal relationships. The first project studies var
 iation in intergenerational relationships -- one of the determinants of 
 Covid-19 contagion and mortality in the elderly population -- among old 
 adults in an early European epicenter of the pandemic. The second projec
 t examines stratification in compositional and structural characteristic
 s of personal networks between migrant generations and non-migrants in C
 alifornia\, USA -- a potential source of further wealth and health inequ
 alities affecting migrants.
