TEACHING SOCIAL NETWORKS PDW
Saturday, August 11 - 8:15 AM to 11:45 AM – Marriott Chicago Downtown, Addison Marriott Ballroom
AOM members interested in network analysis have benefited from various PDWs that cater to their need to keep up to date with the methods and theories in this area, but there is only one forum for learning how to bring their research interests into the classroom: the Teaching Social Networks PDW. Now in its 6th year, this ongoing forum for AOM members interested in teaching social networks to different audiences offers an opportunity to share and learn practical insights on how to prepare and deliver impactful sessions or entire courses on the topic.
In the first half of the PDW, leading scholars will give presentations describing how they have developed teaching materials to bring social network research into the classroom. In the second half of the PDW, participants will have the opportunity to interact with the presenters and with other leading scholars – including Raina Brands, Martin Kilduff, Ajay Mehra, Bill McEvily, and Tanya Menon – in rotating roundtable discussions about how to translate social network research into effective educational experiences. The workshop will close with a plenary discussion sharing highlights from the roundtables exchanges.
The 2018 edition of the PDW emphasizes how to leverage network concepts to develop and deliver thematic courses. We are fortunate to count on the participation of the following scholars presenting their contributions:
• Brandy Aven (Carnegie Mellon University): Using personal network feedback and behavioral exercises to teach network concepts
• Nancy Rothbard (University of Pennsylvania): Online social media and social networks
• Ray Sparrowe (Washington University in St. Louis): Organization design and change from a network perspective
Additionally, Alessandro Iorio will give an update on the Teaching Social Networks Online Community. All participants will be invited to join and contribute to the community after the PDW.
To ensure a high-quality experience and an atmosphere conducive to interaction and exchange of ideas, participation in the PDW will be limited to 50 individuals. Experience in teaching social networks is not required but will be considered when selecting applications.
