562 - Regular Session. Social Networks
Tue, August 25, 12:30 to 2:10pm, TBASession Submission Type: Paper Session
Abstract
The importance of social networks has been discovered by both the public at large and scholars in a wide range of other disciplines. Yet social network analysis has firm theoretical roots in Sociology. This session highlights the importance of thinking sociologically about the nature and consequences of social relations and how they catenate into networks and groups. Papers refine our conceptions of various types of ties and their consequences, and elaborate how groups form and ways that this matters.
