Jeffrey Smith, associate professor of sociology at UNL, leads the second virtual presentation of the MAP Academy’s Spring 2021 Methodology Applications Series.

The presentation will cover the basic theoretical, methodological and substantive underpinnings of network analysis — which focuses on the relationships connecting actors, rather than on the properties of the actors themselves — and will discuss how network analysis has been used to measure social cohesion.

Discussion will also outline the differences between census, or complete, network data, and sampled network data, showing how each can be used to measure social cohesion.
