Critical Perspectives on Social Capital DESCRIPTION:Home\n \n \n\n \n Events\n \n \n\nWEBINAR: Economics of Social Relations. Critical Perspectives on Social Capital\nFree Public Webinar on Zoom and YouTubeWednesday\, February 5\, 2025 @ 8:00 pm – 9:30 pm CET \nEditor: Routledge – Taylor & Francis Group (2025) \nBook presentation by the authors\n \nAtilano Pena-López\nProfessor of Economic Policy\nUniversity of A Coruña\nSpain \n \nMatías Membiela-Pollán \nAssociate Professor of Marketing and Market Research \nUniversidade da Coruña\nSpain \n https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2eNiLQ0h96s \nStarting from the idea that economic relations are all social relations\, and every economic fact is first a social fact\, this book explores one of the crucial problems within economic science: how to incorporate the social dimension into the study of economic reality from a critical perspective. \nThis book opens with an examination of the concept of social capital\, incorporating all the approaches from the last 30 years of analysis. Furthermore\, it reviews the two main orientations of existing research programmes in social capital: the macro or culturalist perspective and the micro or individual social capital. Finally\, this book explores the link between social capital and the negative aspects of social reality\, such as corruption or inequality\, and\, through the study of so-called relational goods\, the influence of social capital on subjective well-being. The analysis of the concept of social capital not only involves economists but also requires a necessary bridge with sociology\, anthropology\, political science\, and even psychology. \nThis book will\, therefore\, be crucial reading for anyone engaged in the problem of the interrelation between economy and society. \nTime converter at worldtimebuddy.com \nAbout the presenters:\nJosé Atilano Pena López (Celeiro-Lugo\, 1968) is Professor of Economic Policy at the University of A Coruña\, has a PhD in Economics\, and is Member of the OSIM (Social Organizations\, Institutions and Markets) research group.

Adrian Nat Gentry \nPhD candidate Purdue University \n https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uq2K5iVN-nE \nDespite social capital theory being a valuable theoretical framework in the field of higher education and having multiple well-established methods proposed by seminal researchers\, there is limited synthesis on how to assess students’ social capital in higher education. This lack of consensus perpetuates inconsistent findings and evidence for educational interventions. In this presentation\, Mx. Adrian Gentry will share their findings from a review of 93 higher education studies on social capital quantitative assessments. The aim of the study is to evaluate quantitative social capital assessments\, based on survey design and operationalized measures\, and recommend methods\, operationalized measures and assessment instruments for social capital. Results from the 93 articles revealed that generators (18 papers)\, social network analysis (5 papers)\, and standard Likert measures (80 papers) were commonly used to assess social capital. Standard Likert measures\, while most common\, were rarely aligned with social capital theory\, reducing the validity of the measures. Results also showed that operationalizations of social capital were heavily rooted in social network theory\, where social capital is accessed through social networks (86 papers) and actions from alters (65 papers) in the students’ network. However\, direct measures of social capital—that is\, network characteristics\, access to supports\, and seminal definitions of trust and community—were less common. \nThis study provides important consensus and recommendations for researchers to select assessment instruments appropriate for their study and rooted in principles of assessment validity. We recommend researchers select survey methods (e.g.\, social capital generators) and operationalizations (e.g.\, actions from alters) that are well aligned with social capital theory. Assessment instruments designed using strong theoretical frameworks\, such as Lin’s network theory of social capital\, add to the validity of the researchers’ instrument design\, use and interpretation of the students’ social capital scores. \nTime converter at worldtimebuddy.com \nAbout the presenter:\nMx. Adrian Nat Gentry is a PhD candidate at Purdue University in Engineering Education. They have a background in materials engineering with a bachelor’s and master’s degree in the field. Mx. Gentry utilizes quantitative and qualitative methods to study engineering students’ social capital\, including students in work-integrated learning programs and a framework for understanding nonbinary engineering students access to identity-based supports.

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.
