Many of us know the great homophily review paper by
McPherson, Miller, Lynn Smith-Lovin, and James M. Cook. 2001. "Birds of 
a Feather: Homophily in Social Networks." Annual Review of Sociology 
27:415-444. [altho my spell checker needed to be taught "homophily"]

But my colleagues and I are wondering about more recent work, probably 
multilevel:
How is the probability of forming a homophilic tie with similar people 
(gender, religion, ethnicity, race, etc.) affected by the number of 
similar people (e.g., % same race) in the environing social context, be 
it city, organization, school etc.

Your advice would be greatly appreciated
