SUMMARY:WEBINAR: Networking or Nepotism: Navigating the Tension between Social Capital and Meritorcracy in the Job Search
DESCRIPTION:Home\n											\n									\n\n											\n										Events\n											\n									\n\nWEBINAR: Networking or Nepotism: Navigating the Tension between Social Capital and Meritorcracy in the Job Search\nFree Public Webinar on ZoomWednesday\, April 16\, 2025 @ 3:00 pm – 4:00 pm EDT \nInvited Speaker\nLaura Adler\nAssistant Professor of Organizational Behavior\, Yale School of Management\n \nIn the process of looking for work\, job seekers who want to leverage their social connections confront a dilemma: on one hand\, using connections increases access to good jobs; on the other hand\, we generally believe that we should earn a job based on what we can do\, rather than who we know. Using qualitative and experimental data from Spain\, this research shows how people experience the tension between social capital and meritocracy—two conflicting logics governing the job search—and how they resolve this tension through a process of justification that we call situational alignment. By making sense of the alignment between the job seeker\, the job\, and the type of help that connection provide\, people overcome their meritocratic concerns and justify using connections to gain an advantage in the job search. \nTime converter at worldtimebuddy.com \nAbout the presenter:\nLaura Adler’s research examines topics at the intersection of organizations and cultural sociology with a focus on the future of work. Her recent research explores how the interaction between organizations and pay equity laws has shaped employers’ pay-setting practices. Other projects explore the world of work from the perspectives of workers\, employers\, and regulatory authorities. Laura specializes in mixed methods design\, using fieldwork to develop novel hypotheses and testing these in using experiments\, surveys\, and archival data. \nAbout Our Webinar Series\nThis event is part of our regular webinar sessions for social capital researchers including PhD/master students.

SUMMARY:WEBINAR: Perversity and Deficiency: A Social Capital Understanding of Violent Crime Against Women
DESCRIPTION:Home\n											\n									\n\n											\n										Events\n											\n									\n\nWEBINAR: Perversity and Deficiency: A Social Capital Understanding of Violent Crime Against Women\nFree Public Webinar on Zoom and YouTubeWednesday\, April 23\, 2025 @ 2:00 pm – 3:30 pm CDT \n																														 \nInvited Speaker\nMaya FarrHenderson\nResearcherBehavioral Health & Performance Laboratory \n		https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sq7Zqi0cT-A \nOver the past two decades\, femicide—the gender-based killing of women or girls—has become an issue of international concern. Yet relatively little data on perpetrators exist. Current research primarily focuses on individual risk factors with less attention on community and societal factors. This conversation will draw on a study of femicide which analyzed the extent to which crime perpetrators experience and perceive social punishment (exclusion/withdrawal of social capital). \nWithin a social network\, individuals trust one another not to violate behavioral norms; otherwise\, offenders can expect consequences and social isolation. Yet crime and violence persist even within tight social networks. We will discuss and consider two primary social capital related explanations for the incidence of violent crime: a deficit of social capital and the perversion of social capital. The social capital deficit approach suggests the absence of key moral referees in the social environments of perpetrators whereas perverse social capital may incentivize violent crime to establish and maintain social connections. \nWe measured social capital pre- and post-incarceration among 208 male perpetrators of violent crime (femicide\, homicide\, and non-lethal violence). Our data show a lack of social punishment for femicide compared to other crimes\, indicating some degree of social legitimization of femicide. These findings support the development of community-level interventions to prevent femicide  . \nMaya FarrHenderson is presenting a summary presentation of her work\, “Perceptions of Social Capital Before and After the Perpetration of Femicide\, Homicide\, and Other Serious Crimes: Evidence from Argentina” co-authored by Martín Hernán Di Marco and Dabney P. Evans. \nTime converter at worldtimebuddy.com \nAbout the presenter:\nMaya FarrHenderson\, MPH is a researcher at the Behavioral Health & Performance Laboratory\, Houston\, TX. Her current work focuses on the effect social relationships have on health. \nAbout Our Webinar Series\nThis event is part of our regular webinar sessions for social capital researchers including PhD/master students.

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.
