Dear colleagues,The
Inequality-Social
Network Nexus
Paris, France, June 14-16, 2016
Organizer: Basak Bilecen
This
session
investigates the inequality–social network nexus. Both the
structure and dynamics of social relations in which
individuals are embedded have been consistently shown to be
crucial for the production and persistence of different forms
of inequalities. For example, social networks have argued to
be crucial in finding employment, housing, adapting to a new
environment, and securing better health conditions. In other
words, knowing diverse people who has resources such as
information, has advantages, while isolation and/or having a
closed circle might cause redundancy, and thus, disadvantage.
This session will provide a forum for presentation of ideas on
how to investigate inequalities in social networks as well as
to understand whether and how network structure for certain
categories of persons yield inequalities. The contributions
with innovative research designs and mixed-method approaches
with SNA are welcome to address the questions of inequalities.
