This is a seven-week module that will provide students with an overview of the key concepts (what is SNA, network theory, graph theory, ego networks vs. whole networks), special topics (social support, cliques, social capital, corporate networks, social movements, and cyber communities) and methods of social network analysis (sampling, network dynamics, network visualization, cliques and structural equivalences). The main goal of this course is for students to learn how to do social network analysis through interviews and online research.
