We invite you to join us for a paper symposium, "Narrated Networks: Integrating Network Structure and Content". The symposium will take place in person (@WES: Fifth Avenue Room) on August 8th, 2022, from 10:30 AM to 12:00 PM (Seattle / Pacific Daylight Time). This is the link to the Symposium page.
Overview:
The symposium features four papers that examine how firms, entrepreneurs, or individuals narrate their network ties. The four papers leverage unique and fruitful data from the LEGO online community, YouTube, Twitter, and Amazon to address interesting questions on network content. Using advanced research methods such as computational linguistic approaches, the four papers help integrate our understanding of network structure and content.
