DESCRIPTION:Home\n \n \n\n \n Events\n \n \n\nWEBINAR: Social capital in the age of AI: Does current pedagogy help students build real connections in a virtual world?\nFree Public Webinar on Zoom and YouTubeWednesday\, September 3\, 2025 @ 9:00 am – 10:30 am SAST \n \nInvited Speaker\nSidney Peimer\nLecturer Red & Yellow Creative School of Business \n https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V72GuIGmUw4 \nThis presentation explores a bolstered role for tertiary educators in the accrual of students’ social capital (SC) in today’s digital world. This talk underscores the importance of a fresh lens to support the development of valuable SC accrual for the next generation of leaders. The roles of bridging and bonding ties are reassessed for students’ needs\, as well as the many alternatives available to teachers\, ensuring pedagogy that supports both the academic and future social needs of students. With SC considered to be the resources and benefits available\, students need to be primed in terms of recognising potential resources and exhibiting the necessary agency to acquire them. This emphasises the crucial role that SC plays in providing access to resources and opportunities\, as well as building the required resilience and collaborative traits required. In addition to documented and published methods\, Sid will share emerging methods that have emanated from Africa’s highest ranked creative business school\, where he is tenured. \nTime converter at worldtimebuddy.com \nAbout the presenter:\nSidney Peimer is a lecturer at the Red & Yellow Creative School of Business\, where he teaches Marketing Strategy and Research to BA and BCom undergrads.

This session introduces the Social Wealth Continuum – a conceptual tool for understanding how leaders self-assess their relational wellbeing across different spheres of life — and how organizations can support relational infrastructure beyond “team bonding” or ad hoc social events. \nParticipants will leave with a deeper understanding of how social capital functions in hybrid environments\, and how intentional relationship design can foster sustainable leadership\, emotional resilience\, and a greater sense of belonging in today’s flexible world of work. \nTime converter at worldtimebuddy.com \nAbout the presenter:\nShelley Doyle is a Social Wealth Strategist\, podcaster\, and international Master’s student at Royal Roads University. With over 20 years in communications – including internal and purpose-driven campaigns across the UK\, Europe\, and Australia\, Shelley now guides remote leaders and distributed teams through research-based workshops and programs designed to help them design social wealth into their hybrid life\, for sustained social health. \nHer current thesis\, Leading with Social Wealth: How Relationship Efforts Shape the Social Health of Remote and Hybrid Leaders\, explores the relational strategies that help leaders feel connected\, trusted\, and supported – online\, offline. \nAbout Our Webinar Series\nThis event is part of our regular webinar sessions for social capital researchers including PhD/master students.

The study used a qualitative\, phenomenological approach\, employing semi-structured interviews to explore how the program influences students’ perceptions of their social networks and career paths. The research examined whether and to what extent university interventions might effectively bridge existing social capital gaps for students from low socioeconomic households. The study also considered the role of various forms of capital\, such as aspirational and resistant capital\, in shaping students’ experiences and outcomes. \nThe results of this study have implications for those\, particularly universities\, seeking to boost social capital and to ensure that students\, regardless of backgrounds\, have access to advice and connections that can provide encouragement\, improve self-efficacy\, expand one’s understanding of career opportunities and routes of preparation\, and ultimately enhance postgraduate outcomes. While there is truth to the adage “It’s not what you know. It’s who you know\,” this study supported that it is also true who one knows informs what one decides to become. \nTime converter at worldtimebuddy.com \nAbout the presenter:\nRob Schnieders leads strategic initiatives for Fairfield University.

Based on 23 interviews conducted in a German city\, the study reveals that despite appearances of integration\, significant forms of disconnection persist. These include segregated networks\, limited access to resources\, lack of representation\, and feelings of alienation. A key finding is that discrimination—both structural and interactional—acts as a cross-cutting force that reinforces these forms of exclusion. \nThe analysis draws on social capital theory\, especially the distinction between bonding\, bridging\, and linking social capital. While many migrants possess strong bonding capital—close\, trusted ties within their own communities—there is often a lack of bridging capital that would connect them to other social groups and wider markets. Most critically\, linking capital is scarce: access to institutions\, decision-makers\, and financial or business support structures remains limited. This uneven distribution of social capital\, and the structural barriers to building bridging and linking networks\, contribute significantly to the experience of disconnectedness. \nTime converter at worldtimebuddy.com \nAbout the presenter:\nBorn in 1977\, Alexandra David studied communication science at the University of Duisburg-Essen and economics at the Distance University in Hagen.

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.

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.
