Description:
This course introduces you to various concepts, methods, and applications of social network analysis drawn from the social sciences. We will start with an introduction to graph theory and the fundamentals of social network analysis, including data collection and visualisation. We will then consider descriptive network- and individual-level statistics and their applications in social science research. Finally, we will discuss methods for testing hypotheses about social network structure, and introduce models for social networks. The emphasis will be on applying social network analysis theories and methods to real-world data, and on understanding and interpreting results, rather than on the underlying mathematics. The course will also provide training to use software to investigate social networks.
