Social Connections and Health
Mon, August 10, 10:00 to 11:30am, TBASession Submission Type: Paper Session (90 minute)
Description
This session invites theoretical, empirical, and methodological papers that advance understanding of how social relationships, networks, and ties shape—and are shaped by—health and well-being across the life course. We especially welcome paper submissions that leverage relational theory, methods, and techniques broadly defined (including, but not limited to, social network analysis, actor-network theory, relational ethnography, agent-based network models) to the study of human health and health inequalities. Paper submissions that develop new relational methods (or that introduce new models or extensions) or theories to the study of health are also welcome.
