What if we knew? Imagine we could pinpoint exactly who caused other people to do things\, and how much–whether that was shopping\, going to the doctor\, voting\, consuming media\, or any other action. What if we also knew how much this happened in general\, and how it varied from context to context? \nIn this talk\, I’ll explain a new method for measuring the effects of interactions over time\, which we call “Social Value.” Most of the solutions for this age-old challenge have been based on social media\, where we infer influence from follower counts or reposts\, but which aren’t tied to outcomes. They haven’t been falsifiable. Social Value solves for this\, and gets us beyond guesswork. Although we are in the early days of the research\, it’s also opening up theorizing and practice around why and how people lead and follow. In this talk\, I’ll discuss the general concept of Social Value\, how we’ve tested and validated it\, and what we’ve found\, including connections to personality\, race and social capital. I’ll also cover the method’s potential for network research and use in social science more broadly. \nTime converter at worldtimebuddy.com \nAbout the presenter:\nDmitri Williams (PhD\, Michigan 2004) is a professor at USC Annenberg\, where he teaches courses on technology and society\, games and data analytics. His current work focuses on the study of influence among populations through the concept of “social value.” His ongoing work centers on the social and economic impacts of new media\, often within online games. He works actively with companies and startups across the tech sectors. Williams was the first researcher to use online games for experiments and to undertake longitudinal research on video games\, and now uses a wide variety of methods ranging from experiments\, surveys\, and machine learning to content analysis and the occasional ethnography. \nAbout Our Webinar Series\nThis event is part of our regular webinar sessions for social capital researchers including PhD/master students.

The presenters will discuss the social capital methodology used to ground their research with reference to Pierre Bourdieu and Robert Putnam’s theories of social capital. The outcomes for adolescents and youth will be explored in relation to the typically-hearing population in areas such as language\, mental health\, and employment. The qualitative evidence presented will focus on the voices of the young people interviewed and discuss how social capital can positively influence the outcomes for these young people in relation to their language\, identity\, and wellbeing.  \nTime converter at worldtimebuddy.com \nAbout the presenters:\nJill Duncan \nAssociate Professor Jill Duncan serves as an academic at the University of Newcastle’s School of Education and the University Lead – Equity\, Diversity\, and Inclusion.

The results are drawn from qualitative studies conducted in two French medium-sized shrinking cities. The findings show that similarly to the institutional and collective forms of social capital analyzed in previous literature\, informal social capital is also impacted by the changes affecting urban place in the context of shrinkage\, and particularly weakened for elderly residents – especially women – and young professionals. At the same time\, it constitutes an efficient resource\, that helps residents facing shrinkage-related problems individually rather than addressing shrinkage itself collectively. Finally\, the findings highlight the role of specific social actors such as community centres who\, by providing institutionalized sources of social capital\, foster the creation of informal social capital and allow us to address its unequal distribution and weakening. This emphasizes the need to reconsider current social capital-based planning strategies\, from relying mainly on collective initiatives addressing shrinkage\, to supporting institutional social actors in the creation of small scale\, individual level social ties and interactions. \nTime converter at worldtimebuddy.com \nAbout the presenter:\nI am an urban scholar who combines ethnographic methods and critical theoretical approaches from geography and sociology to explore the everyday politics of urban change. \nI study how urban actors’ everyday experience and negotiation of urban change contributes to reproduce\, transform\, and sometimes challenge unequal sociospatial orders. My PhD research examined the everyday politics of urban shrinkage\, including residents’ agentive mitigation of stigma\, sensory micro-politics in impoverishing and ethnically diversifying neighbourhoods\, the construction and mobilisation of urban symbols\, and the role of public actors in recomposing social capital weakened by long-term outmigration. \nI was a Marie Sklodowska Curie fellow and PhD candidate in the Department of Geography\, Planning and Development Studies at the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands\, where I was part of the Urban Geography research group. Since September 2023\, I am based at Université Paris Est Créteil\, where I am a Research and Education Fellow and teach courses in general sociology and qualitative research design. \nAbout Our Webinar Series\nThis event is part of our regular webinar sessions for social capital researchers including PhD/master students.

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.
