The University of Georgia College of Education will offer a workshop on social network theories and methods May 3-4 at the UGA Hotel and Conference Center at the Georgia Center.

“Social Network Theories and Methods” will introduce participants to the basic concepts, theories, and models of social network analysis. Participants will learn how to define and apply these models in their own settings. The focus is on theoretical model development which can inform that design of studies, measures, and analysis.  The course will also introduce basic software for estimating the models and representing network data and a range of social network resources.

Participants should have one year of applied statistics so that they are comfortable with the general linear model (regression and ANOVA) and analysis of 2×2 tables. Participants need to bring a laptop computer for the workshop.

Kenneth Frank, a professor in measurement and quantitative methods and fisheries and wildlife at Michigan State University, will lead the workshop. His areas of interest focus on social network analysis, causal inference, and multi-level models.
