    University of Kentucky LINKS Center
    Summer Workshop on Social Network Analysis
    June 1-5, 2009

    Each summer, the LINKS Center at the University of Kentucky offers a week-long workshop on social network analysis. The workshop features multiple sessions, some of which run concurrently. This year, we will offer the following sessions:

     

    The modules offer a mix of social network theory (e.g., strength of weak ties, embed­dedness, social capital), methodology (e.g., collecting network data), mathematical concepts (e.g., eigenvectors, ls-sets) and hands-on software training (e.g., UCINET, NetDraw, SIENA). The hallmark of our workshops is clarity of exposition.

    The workshop is appropriate for faculty and graduate students, as well as practitioners in management, health and security fields. Last year we accepted 70 participants, about half of whom were PhD students. Students pay half price. The workshop is held on the University of Kentucky campus, June 1-5.

    For more information, contact Steve Borgatti at sborgatti@uky.edu or visit our website at http://workshops.linkscenter.org .
    The deadline for
    registration is May 15. A 20% discount is available for early registration (by April 15).
