Economic approaches to social capital discussion

Are you a student or scholar who is interested in economic approaches to social capital?

We will be hosting a free discussion on Zoom at 8pm on Monday 3 August 2020 (GMT+2:00 Amsterdam, Berlin, Rome, Stockholm, Vienna). We welcome people from anywhere in the world – please take into account any time difference to GMT+2:00.

The discussion session will be facilitated by Tristan Claridge and Jacob Spanke. This is an opportunity to share your ideas and hear from other scholars.

There are several different approaches to social capital, and even within the discipline of economics there have been several approaches to its conceptualisation and operationalisation. These issues continue to be challenging for students and scholars who use the concept. This discussion session is an opportunity for experienced scholars to share their ideas and for those who are relatively new to social capital to learn more about the different approaches.
