SUMMARY:WEBINAR: What do triads reveal about social capital?
DESCRIPTION:Invited Speaker\nProfessor Lindon Robison\nEmeritus Professor of Agricultural and Resource EconomicsMichigan State University \n		https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3XbGzlAC6c \nThis webinar will explore a unique and innovative line of inquiry to understanding social capital. Social capital theory has typically been used to study binary relationships. This webinar will move beyond traditional binary relationships to examine triads of binary connections. By studying triads\, important social structures emerge\, revealing insights that are not evident when only considering binary relationships. \nSocial capital is defined as emotions such as empathy\, sympathy\, compassion\, regard\, and trust that enable individuals to internalize the well-being of others who are the objects of their social capital. Conversely\, negative social capital was defined as emotions such as antipathy\, competition\, fear\, disdain\, and distrust toward others who are the objects of negative social capital. These emotions enable individuals to act in ways that disadvantage others\, even when doing so may also disadvantage themselves. In between social capital and negative social capital is an arm’s length relationship where selfish persons exchange commodities when it is to their advantage to do so. \nBuilding on this foundation\, the webinar will discuss the importance of considering the change in meaning and value of things when they are embedded with relational goods or bads. By examining networks that include triads of binary connections\, researchers can gain insights into various social structures\, including those found in societies\, schools\, workplaces\, teams\, businesses\, and countries. \nThe webinar provides a thought-provoking exploration of social capital theory\, offering new insights into the ways in which social relationships shape human behavior and societal structures. \nTime converter at worldtimebuddy.com \nAbout the presenter:\nDr. Lindon J. Robison has recently retired. He was a Professor of Agricultural and Resource Economics (AFRE) in the tenure stream at Michigan State University from 1977 to 2021. He holds a B.S. degree from Utah State University\, an M.S. degree from the University of Illinois\, and a Ph.D. degree from Texas A&M University. He has published numerous books and articles\, including the text for the department’s capstone Agri-business management course 435\, which he also taught. He also taught AFRE graduate courses in calculus for economists\, mathematical statistics\, and mathematical programming. He has consulted for governments\, firms\, and international organizations such as the World Bank\, particularly in Latin America. He has worked for the US Government as an agricultural economist and has been a visiting faculty member at Brigham Young University\, the University of Minnesota\, and the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences in Uppsala\, Sweden. He has won many academic awards\, including Best Ph.D. thesis for his work on risk and portfolio management of rural banks\, and in 2012 was made a fellow of the Institutional and Behavioral Economics section of the Agricultural and Applied Economics Association (AAEA). His most frequently cited works include The Competitive Firm’s Response to Risk\, which he authored with Peter J. Barry\, and “Is Social Capital Really Capital?” which he authored with Allan A. Schmid and Marcelo E. Siles. His pioneering research focuses on the role of social capital (relationships of caring\, trust\, and regard) in establishing the terms and level of trade—that has been applied to minimum sell land and car prices\, the likelihood of loan approval\, and medical screen decisions. His most recent publications describe social capital motives and distinguish between relational goods and commodities.  \nAbout Our Webinar Series\nThis event is part of our regular webinar sessions for social capital researchers including PhD/master students.

SUMMARY:WEBINAR: Social Capital Matters: Industry Perspectives
DESCRIPTION:Invited Speaker\nDr Rahmat Shazi\nTechnology Director ShazInnovation Solution  \n		https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSocR1DjCfg \nThere are multiple definitions of Social Capital\, among others by Bordieu (1986)\, Burt (1992) and Putnam (1995). However\, a number of these perspectives are difficult to either be understood or operationalized by industry. Their conceptualization of Social Capital is not aligned with the way many firms\, especially technical ones understand the resources they have. For example\, Bordieu’s focus is on the accrued value obtained via relationships and have received more interest from scholars. Upon presentation to industry audiences however\, the speaker found a lot of resistance especially when the measures are difficult to map to their framework.  \nIt was Putnam who observed Social Capital is not a unidimensional concept\, and Nahapiet and Ghoshal (1997\, 1998) who integrated these different facets. They do so by focusing on the network of relationships and trust among people who live and work together\, a critical asset for industries. It’s the glue that holds organizations together\, fostering collaboration\, innovation\, and efficiency. In the workplace\, social capital leads to more effective team synergy\, as employees who feel connected are more likely to be engaged and productive. Companies can leverage social capital by encouraging networking\, mentoring\, and team-building activities that strengthen interpersonal connections. This investment in social relationships can result in a more cohesive\, resilient\, and agile organization\, capable of navigating challenges and capitalizing on opportunities including innovation. It is this perspective that many industries found much more aligned with their social understanding of their organizations\, especially when mapped to outputs of ESG. Rahmat will present these observations via three client case studies. \nAbout the presenter:\nRahmat Shazi is currently the Technology Director of ShazInnovation Solution as well as member of the Board of COMBAT Advance Meditech. Through his PhD on Innovation Management\, he is an expert on the application of Social Capital for Social Risk Assessment\, Trust Management leveraging on Social Capital models\, and Commercialization of Innovations. He has had 25 years of prior experience in PETRONAS as well as consulting work in Australia. \nCurrently he is an Industry Advisory Panel of 10 universities\, both Malaysian and international. He is a member of the Australia-Malaysia Business Council\, and while in Australia working as a part-time consultant\, the Chairman of the Malaysia Scientific Diaspora from 2013-2014. He is also a member of the newly-formed Selangor Innovation Enculturation Committee. \nAbout Our Webinar Series\nThis event is part of our regular webinar sessions for social capital researchers including PhD/master students.

SUMMARY:WEBINAR: Canceling Disputes: How Social Capital Affects the Arbitration of Disputes on Wikipedia
DESCRIPTION:Invited Speaker\nAssociate Professor Florian Grisel\nOxford Centre for Socio-Legal Studies\n\nUniversity of Oxford \n		https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nL_Zngqd65c \nThe presentation examines how social capital affects the resolution of disputes by focusing on English Wikipedia’s Arbitration Committee\, sometimes described as “Wikipedia’s Supreme Court.” Quantitative and qualitative data suggests that the Arbitration Committee not only examines the merits of the claims made by the disputants\, but also and more crucially considers the position of each disputant within the community of editors in its decision-making process. In doing so\, the Arbitration Committee does not simply decide or arbitrate disputes but seeks to attenuate their impact on Wikipedia’s social fabric. This data allows us to revisit sociological debates on the role of social capital\, by revealing the ways in which well-connected individuals employ it strategically in order to obfuscate their noncompliance with norms\, thus leading to what I call “dispute cancellation.” \nTime converter at worldtimebuddy.com \nAbout the presenter:\nFlorian Grisel is Research Fellow at the Centre national de la recherche scientifique (SAGE\, Strasbourg) and Senior Research Associate at the University of Oxford (Centre for Socio-Legal Studies). Using a methodological approach combining archival research\, interviews\, and ethnographic work\, his research explores the emergence of law beyond the state\, in global and local settings. \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.

SUMMARY:Social Capital Research Design and Methods
DESCRIPTION:A workshop discussing the research process with a focus on social capital research.\n\n\n\nAre you conducting research on social capital?\nWould you like to discuss or get some help with your research design?\nDo you have any problems or challenges with your research design?\n\nThese sessions are a supportive way to learn more about social capital research design and methods. You can connect with people\, ask questions\, get advice\, and discuss ideas or issues. \nWho is this for? \nAlthough this workshop is focused on PhD students\, we welcome anyone conducting research on social capital. \nWho will run the workshop? \nBeverly Sloan has a PhD in Organisational Leadership from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology. She is a veteran of the United States Air Force with more than 32 years of service. Her leisure activity includes mentoring masters and doctoral candidates on research practices. \nHow will the session work? \nIn these sessions\, we aim to discuss the research process. This includes defining research; discussing research significance\, problems\, and purposes; examining your worldview and philosophical stance; developing research questions\, sub-questions\, and hypotheses; and your theoretical or conceptual framework. We will discuss the initial literature review and its purpose in helping you build your initial central research question. We will use the initial research question to guide the preliminary literature review. During the preliminary literature review\, we will consider defining your key concepts and how they will drive your overall literature review. As we discuss the literature review\, the goal is to refine the research question\, identify gaps in the literature\, and focus the literature review on the central aspects of your research question. This should also help us develop a good outline for our literature review and identify variables or sub-research questions. Once we understand how the literature review shapes our study\, we will move on to research methods and design or our roadmap for collecting data. Then we will move on to data analysis and conclude by combining all the pieces. This will not be a linear process\, but it will be a process. \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. Sometimes\, it’s the small things that make a big difference\, so do email us if you have an access request. 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 session. 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. It helps to have cameras on\, but we recognise that sometimes this isn’t possible\, for a variety of reasons.
