SUMMARY:WEBINAR: Dr Annahita Ehsan: Social Capital and Community Mental Health Promotion
DESCRIPTION:Invited Speaker\nDr Annahita (Anna) Ehsan\nDepartment of Psychological Medicine and the ESRC Centre for Society and Mental Health at King’s College\, London \nCertificate of attendance available \n			\n						Certificate of attendance\n					\n		https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YHjrgAQwImo \nSocial capital is often considered as beneficial to mental health and has been targeted for community-based health promotion initiatives. However\, recent evidence suggests that the relationship between social capital and mental health is more nuanced: social capital can be simultaneously beneficial and detrimental within communities. This presentation will first explore the current scientific knowledge on social capital\, social capital interventions\, and how they are approached in mental health promotion. It will draw from existing literature and examples from case studies to highlight the complexity of promoting social capital for mental health within specific communities\, and how building social capital for some groups may have unintended consequences for others.  Overall\, it will question how social capital can contribute to and overcome mental health-related inequities\, and will conclude by suggesting ways to improve current research and practice.Time converter at worldtimebuddy.com \nAbout the presenter:\nDr. Annahita (Anna) Ehsan is a social scientist who uses multiple and mixed-methods to understand social inequalities and health. She is particularly interested in how social relationships play a role in health promotion\, and how community interventions both reduce and reproduce health inequalities. She works directly with existing interventions to improve monitoring and evaluation\, and uses integrated knowledge transfer to benefit practice. \nAbout Our Webinar Series\nThis event is part of our regular webinar sessions for social capital researchers including PhD/master students. These sessions include invited presentations from prominent scholars as well as presentations by PhD students and experts in professional practice.\nFor social capital researchers\, these sessions are an opportunity to hear about the latest social capital research and insights from scholars working on the concept. They can be a great way to connect with people\, to get advice\, discuss ideas or issues\, get suggestions for literature to read\, or you can just listen. \nAre you researching social capital and want to present your research? Click here for more information and to submit a proposal. \nGenerally\, presentations can be 20 to 30 mins. The content of your presentation will depend on your research stage.

SUMMARY:WEBINAR: Professor Carl L. Bankston III: In What Sense is Social Capital “Capital”?
DESCRIPTION:Invited Speaker\nProfessor Carl L. Bankston III\nDepartment of Sociology\nTulane University \nCertificate of attendance available \n			\n						Certificate of attendance\n					\n		https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQF1oqZZz7Q \nThe word “capital” originally referred to financial resources invested in the production of greater financial resources. It has been gradually extended to other kinds of resources. These have included the skills\, training\, and knowledge of individuals\, social groups or political entities (human capital); cultural traits that lead to desirable outcomes (cultural capital); and qualities of sets of people that result in advantages either for the sets themselves or the individuals in them (the most common senses of “social capital”). What do these uses of “capital” have in common and what differentiates them? \nIf one thinks of capital as any set of assets that can produce profitable outcomes\, then it makes sense to talk about skills\, training\, or knowledge or about cultural values or forms of interpersonal relations as “capital.” Indeed\, financial assets alone can only result in profits within cultural and interpersonal environments. But social capital clearly differs in a number of ways from financial capital. The latter comes in identifiable amounts. Although social scientists have proposed various ways of quantifying social capital\, it does not come in obvious countable units\, such as dollars or Euros. Authors often define what social capital is in varying ways\, with some essentially considering it as synonymous with cultural capital or some particular cultural value (such as trust)\, while others define it in terms of interpersonal networks of control and support. A co-author and I have argued that one special problem in social capital theory is that the production of desirable outcomes from interpersonal relations or values is a matter of process\, rather than a matter of the investment of countable assets. If social capital involves characteristics of social groups that result in profitable outcomes\, when should we regard an outcome as profitable? \nThis webinar will deal with the theoretical problems involved in thinking about social relations as investable assets and attempt to explore what social capital does and does not have in common with the tradition idea of financial capital. \n  \nTime converter at worldtimebuddy.com \nAbout the presenter:\nCarl L. Bankston III is professor of sociology at Tulane University. His most recent books include American Ideas of Equality: A Social History\, 1750-2020 (Cambria\, 2021)\, The Rise of the New Second Generation (with Min Zhou; Polity\, 2016); and Immigrant Networks and Social Capital (Polity\, 2014). His research interests include international migration\, sociology of education\, stratification\, historical sociology\, and sociology of religion. Social capital theory has consistently been a dominant theoretical framework across all of these areas. \n \nAbout Our Webinar Series\nThis event is part of our regular webinar sessions for social capital researchers including PhD/master students.

SUMMARY:WEBINAR: Professor Jules Pretty: Social Capital and The Ills of Affluence
DESCRIPTION:Invited Speaker\nProfessor Jules Pretty\nProfessor of Environment and Society\,\nUniversity of Essex\nDirector of the Centre for Public and Policy Engagement \nCertificate of attendance available \n			\n						Certificate of attendance\n					\n		https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0N9wn9u02us \nUntil the past half-century\, all agriculture and land management was framed by local institutions strong in social capital. But neo-liberal forms of development came to undermine existing structures\, thus reducing sustainability and equity. The past 20 years\, though\, have seen the deliberate establishment of more than eight million new social groups across the world. These groups focus on 1) integrated pest management; 2) forests; 3) land; 4) water; 5) pastures; 6) support services; 7) innovation platforms; 8) small-scale systems. We show across 122 initiatives in 55 countries that the number of groups has grown from 0.5M (at 2000) to 8.54M (2020). The area of land transformed by the 170-255M group members is 300 Mha\, mostly in less-developed countries (98% groups; 94% area). Farmers and land managers working with scientists and extensionists in these groups have improved both environmental outcomes and agricultural productivity. In some cases\, changes to national or regional policy supported this growth in groups. \nTogether with other movements\, these social groups could now support further transitions towards policies and behaviours for global sustainability and better health. Major challenges remain on the four interlocking modern crises arising from the ills of affluence: climate\, biodiversity loss\, inequality and the major non-communicable diseases. But dropping old habits is hard. There are paths\, but many seem to lead into a dark forest. We have choices\, and a good life might not cost the earth if it can build on collective action and form social capital. \n  \nTime converter at worldtimebuddy.com \nAbout the presenter:\nJules Pretty is Professor of Environment and Society at the University of Essex\, and Director of the Centre for Public and Policy Engagement.
