Offizielle Kursbeschreibung: Social network analysis is a key tool of sociological research. It enables scholars to investigate interactions and social relationships between people, their structures, how networks affect societal outcomes (e.g., social norms, cooperation, inequality, discrimination, delinquency etc.). The seminar provides a practical introduction to social network analysis. Different methods will be discussed and data analyzed with R. Important seminar topics are preparation and inspection of network data, visualization, application in social science research, and descriptive analysis of concepts, such as distance, centrality, cohesion, and homophily. Participants are required to have basic R knowledge.
