SUMMARY:Introduction to Social Capital Research
DESCRIPTION:Do you want to gain a better understanding of social capital?\n\n\n\nAre you doing or planning to do research on social capital?\nWant help navigating the complicated theory and literature?\nDo you want to gain a better understanding of social capital?\n\nThis session provides a foundation for understanding what social capital is\, where it comes from\, and what it does as well as some of the challenges of reading the literature and conducting researching on social capital. The session is designed to kick-start your social capital research or to help you with your existing research. The session will give you a blueprint for understanding the different meanings of social capital and how to navigate the literature on social capital. It is designed to give you a rapid introduction to the concept of social capital and its use in research\, helping you avoid weeks or even months of reading. \nWho is this for? \nThis session is designed for people who are new to social capital research or for anyone who would like to understand the concept better. It would suit PhD and Masters students and other people who are conducting research on social capital. \nHow the session will run: \nThe session will include an informative 20-minute presentation by Tristan Claridge followed by questions and discussion. You will have an opportunity to discuss your research and receive some feedback\, ideas\, and direction for your research. \nWho will run the workshop? \nTristan Claridge\, President of ISCA\, will facilitate this session. Tristan has been researching social capital for over 20 years. He has explored the theoretical foundations of the concept and much of his work aims to bring conceptual and theoretical clarification. These introductory sessions will be run twice each year. \nAccess requirements \nWe seek to make our events accessible\, and this is no exception. If there is something that will help you to engage more effectively in this session\, please email us on: events@intsocialcapital.org. We recognise that not all participants are able to attend all sessions for the full duration. You are free to join us and leave at any time during the networking event. We request that you have your name on Zoom (this can be just a first name) to make it easier for us to facilitate the session and address participants correctly.

SUMMARY:Minority racial concentration and COVID-19: The mediating role of social capital
DESCRIPTION:Invited Speaker\nDr Cary Wu\nAssistant Professor of Sociology \nYork University \n			\n						Register for free\n					\n			Time converter at worldtimebuddy.comTime converter at worldtimebuddy.com		 \nGrowing research suggests that areas with higher concentrations of racial and ethnic minorities have experienced more negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. In this webinar\, I will consider the mediating role of social capital in the effect of minority racial concentration on COVID-19 infection. I separate between two major dimensions of social capital\, namely\, cohesion social capital and network social capital\, and consider how they might mediate the association differently. On one hand\, network social capital in the forms of network connections and participation in social activities often promote more human to human contacts that could lead to the spread of the virus. On the other hand\, cohesion social capital in the forms of social trust and political confidence can endow individuals with greater concern for others and high compliance with control measures that could help reduce the potential spread. In the first study\, I focus on 140 Toronto Neighborhoods. Combining the data from the 2018 Toronto Social Capital Study (Environics Institute) and Toronto Neighborhood Pandemic Profile\, I show that neighborhoods with higher levels of minority racial concentration show higher COVID-19 infection rates. I also show that cohesion social capital has a positive impact on reducing COVID-19 infection\, while network social capital has a negative impact. However\, they both play significant roles in mediating the association between minority concentration on COVID-19 infection. In the second study\, I focus on over 3000 US counties. Combining data from the Social Capital Project (SCP) of the United States Congress’s Joint Economic Committee with the county-level information on COVID-19 from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention\, I replicate the first study. The patterns are consistent: higher levels of minority concentration are associated with higher COVID-19 infection rates. Cohesion social capital and network social capital show differential impacts\, but they both significantly mediate the effect of minority concentration on COVID-19 infection. Results from these two studies illustrate that lack of social capital is one central mechanism underlying how racial and ethnic minorities experience the pandemic differently. Findings of this research also demonstrate the need to be more explicit about social capital’s different forms and how they may affect social outcomes differently. \nTime converter at worldtimebuddy.com \n																										 \nAbout the presenter:\nCary Wu is Assistant Professor of Sociology at York University. His research focuses on political culture\, race and ethnicity\, and inequality. He often shares his research with the public via national and international TV\, radio\, and newspaper forums including NPR\, CBC\, CTV\, The Washington Post\, Toronto Star\, Macleans\, and The Economist. \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.
