Social Capital and the Rise of Sustainability Community Enterprises DESCRIPTION:Home\n \n \n\n \n Events\n \n \n\nWEBINAR: Rooted in Community? Social Capital and the Rise of Sustainability Community Enterprises\nFree Public Webinar on Zoom and YouTubeWednesday\, June 18\, 2025 @ 9:00 am – 10:30 am CEST \n \nInvited Speaker\nDr Matthijs B. Punt\nAssistant Professor Innovation Studies Copernicus Institute of Sustainable DevelopmentUtrecht University \n https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QF22a-eGMn4 \nCommunity enterprises—such as renewable energy cooperatives\, Repair Cafés\, and food forests—play an increasingly important role in sustainability transitions. These sustainability-focused community enterprises often face distinct challenges in scaling\, as they aim to balance social and economic objectives while explicitly enhancing the well-being of their (often place-based) communities. We argue that one key factor influencing the emergence of such initiatives is the existing stock of social capital in local communities. In our research\, we distinguish between bonding and bridging social capital. Bonding social capital refers to strong\, inward-looking ties within a specific social group that offer emotional support and a sense of belonging. Bridging social capital involves outward-looking ties and is derived from ties across more disparate social groups. While bridging ties are generally emphasized as key for innovation and entrepreneurship\, we argue that bonding social capital is more important for community entrepreneurship\, as it enables the collective action on which these initiatives rely. \nThis presentation draws on a recently published article (Geskus et al.\, 2024) that examines how these different forms of social capital explain the varying prevalence of renewable energy cooperatives across Dutch municipalities. These findings are complemented by two ongoing studies on food forests and Repair Cafés. In all of these studies\, we rely on detailed social media data (from the now defunct social media platform Hyves) to measure bonding and bridging social capital at the level of citizens’ social networks within and across municipalities\, consistent with the social network perspective on social capital. Our results suggest that different types of sustainability community enterprises relate differently to bonding and bridging social capital\, depending on the nature of their activities. Bonding social capital seems to play a particularly important role in the emergence of these sustainability community enterprises. \nGeskus\, S.\, Punt\, M.

Punt is assistant professor Innovation Studies at the Copernicus Institute of Sustainable Development\, Utrecht University. His research focuses on forms of innovation that are primarily institutional or social—rather than technological—in nature. He is particularly interested in the emergence and life-cycle dynamics of new organizational forms and social innovations\, specifically community-driven initiatives for sustainability and digital platforms. He typically examines these phenomena through a geographical and institutional lens. \nAbout Our Webinar Series\nThis event is part of our regular webinar sessions for social capital researchers including PhD/master students.

While much research has focused on Black college men or broader first-generation populations\, the nuanced realities of Black college women at predominantly White institutions (PWIs) remain understudied. This presentation will share findings from a dissertation study exploring how FGLI Black college women\, who participated in campus fitness programs\, built and accessed social capital within the often exclusionary spaces of higher education. Drawing on Critical Race Theory and Bourdieu’s concept of social capital\, the research revealed both the challenges and triumphs these women faced from racial microaggressions and stereotyping to the creation of powerful support systems through campus counter spaces\, peer groups\, and affirming relationships with staff and administrators. \nWebinar attendees will gain insight into the structural barriers confronting FGLI Black college women\, the transformative impact of culturally relevant support systems\, and practical implications for higher education practitioners\, researchers\, and policymakers looking to promote equity and belonging on college campuses and universities. \nTime converter at worldtimebuddy.com \nAbout the presenter:\nDr. Sheena Harvey is currently serving as the Director of the Fitness and Recreational Sports (FRS) Department at the University of Nevada\, Reno. She holds a PhD in Education (Equity and Diversity) from the University of Nevada\, Reno. She enjoys researching all components surrounding collegiate fitness\, recreation\, and sports and their pivotal role in supporting student success in higher education. Her dissertation research was focused on first-generation low-income (FGLI) Black college women and their experiences in campus fitness. In this research she is explored the relationship between collegiate fitness programs\, social capital\, social network connections\, while also exploring how race\, gender\, and social class intersects in student participant experiences. Outside of her work in higher education\, she engages in promoting positive community health practices serving on various boards and commissions within her community that help breakdown some of the preconceived notions associated for racially marginalized population health disparities\, and their access to environments to conduct physical activity. Her community work and involvement also include leading youth fitness exercise engagement initiatives and mentorship throughout the Reno/Sparks community. \nAbout Our Webinar Series\nThis event is part of our regular webinar sessions for social capital researchers including PhD/master students.

Racial disparities in accessing health‐care services have worsened in the United States\, exacerbating social and economic inequality between whites and racial/ethnic minority groups. While existing research primarily attributes these disparities to income differences among racial groups\, this study focuses on the mediating role of social capital and the moderating role of public trust in formal institutions\, while controlling for income and other socioeconomic factors. \nTime converter at worldtimebuddy.com \nAbout the presenter:\nHyunseok Hwang is an assistant professor in the Department of Sociology at Ajou University in South Korea.

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.

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.

While social contacts are often crucial for accessing resources\, they can also impose obligations on individuals to support others within their networks. These demands\, termed “negative social capital” following Portes’ seminal work (1995)\, can represent a significant burden for individuals. Drawing on findings from a survey of small business owners in Uganda\, the presentation identifies the types of networks most likely to generate negative social capital and examines their intersection with issues of gender and internal migration. This study represents one of the first attempts to operationalise the concept of negative social capital by examining requests for resources. \nTime converter at worldtimebuddy.com \nAbout the presenter:\nGiacomo Solano is Assistant Professor in Migrant Inclusion at the Nijmegen School of Management\, Department of Economics and Business Economics.

In this context\, scaling—where innovations are adapted\, embedded\, and expanded within societal dynamics—plays a crucial role in agricultural research for development (AR4D). This webinar will explore findings from a systematic literature review on scaling in AR4D\, with a particular focus on the role of social capital in this process. \nThe study identifies four key knowledge clusters shaping the field of scaling: the innovation and adoption of agricultural technology\, the economics of technology adoption\, sustainability in agricultural innovations\, and the evolution of scaling as a distinct research domain. Disciplines such as sustainable agriculture\, systemic thinking\, technological transitions\, and technology adoption have significantly contributed to this development. However\, while relationships\, trust\, and reciprocity are fundamental to successful scaling\, social capital remains underexplored in this literature. \nThe webinar will discuss the growing multidisciplinary nature of scaling in AR4D\, the contributions of international research institutions\, and the importance of locally rooted\, participatory approaches. It will also highlight future research directions\, emphasizing how fostering social capital can support more intentional and responsible scaling of agricultural innovations. Attendees will gain insights into how strengthening social networks and trust-based collaboration can enhance the impact and sustainability of agricultural advancements worldwide. \nTime converter at worldtimebuddy.com \nAbout the presenter:\nDeissy Martínez Barón is a climate action and agrifood systems expert with over 15 years of research experience\, specializing in climate-smart agriculture\, rural development\, and social capital in scaling innovations.

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.

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.

Zuccala\nAssociate Professor Department of CommunicationUniversity of Copenhagen \n https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfbZ19smn3A \nIn academia\, social network theory and social network analysis are commonly employed to measure social capital. Social network analysis examines a defined set of actors\, such as co-authors of research articles\, and interprets the connections\, or “edges\,” between them. This approach; however\, is limited as it often overlooks crucial qualitative and behavioral dimensions. In this context\, social capital functions also as a catalyst or lubricant for cooperative work\, requiring a more nuanced understanding. To address this gap\, we conducted a study exploring researchers’ perceptions of social capital. Our hypothesis posited a potential misalignment between academics’ preferred practices for building social capital and their habitual behaviors. To test this\, we piloted a survey targeting a community of 1\,092 academics across six faculties—Health and Medical Sciences\, Science\, Social Sciences\, Humanities\, Law\, and Theology—at the University of Copenhagen. The survey focused on their goal-seeking behavior in publishing new research. First we asked the researchers to report their habits\, and then we surveyed their preferences. Collaboration preferences were analyzed through the lens of social capital theory\, assessing three interrelated dimensions: cognitive\, relational\, and structural. This presentation will share key findings from the pilot study and situate them within broader research on collaborative work in academia. \nTime converter at worldtimebuddy.com \nAbout the presenter:\nDr. Zuccala began her academic journey in Psychology before transitioning to the field of Information Science.

The review highlights the complexity of this relationship\, revealing it to be both underexplored and difficult to define. Given the increasing recognition of social capital as a vital component in fostering connected and resilient communities\, understanding its role in urban design is crucial for advancing the industry’s approach to building more sustainable\, socially cohesive environments. I will also present early findings from my ongoing research on the perceived value of social capital within urban design\, and its potential implications for the future of the industry. While still in progress\, this research offers exciting possibilities for shaping the direction of urban design in the coming years. \nTime converter at worldtimebuddy.com \nAbout the presenter:\nI am currently pursuing a Master of Philosophy and deeply engaged in research focused on the value of social capital within the practice of urban design. This interest stems from my industry experience\, as an urban designer\, where I have witnessed firsthand the critical role that community engagement plays in creating sustainable and resilient urban environments. My research aspires to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application\, ultimately contributing to the advancement of urban design practices that prioritize community well-being and sustainability. My professional background (10+ years) encompasses a range of roles in both the private and public sectors\, where I have been involved in urban design and place making for future growth areas. My work has included working with a team on community development initiatives\, urban revitalization projects\, and the creation of place-led economic frameworks aimed at fostering vibrant\, sustainable communities. This practical experience has not only honed my skills in urban design but also fuelled my passion for understanding how research can drive industry progress towards more sustainable solutions. By integrating insights from my research into practical urban design strategies\, I aim to contribute to the development of more inclusive\, socially cohesive\, and sustainable urban environments. \nAbout Our Webinar Series\nThis event is part of our regular webinar sessions for social capital researchers including PhD/master students.

Collaborative approaches in which social capital resource (e.g. knowledge\, resource and support) is exchanged with colleagues can serve as an effective way of facilitating such learning. Analyses of the benefits of social capital networks have primarily focused on intra-school communities of teachers from individual schools. However\, inter-school networks are potentially richer sources of social capital\, since they offer access to resources beyond that already available. With this presentation we draw on the findings of a systematic review\, we seek to outline: 1) what inter-school networks are available internationally; 2) the features and activities present within them; and 3) evidence of impact. Our findings derive from 111 research outputs and highlight: the diverse range of different inter-school networks that exist\, their myriad purposes and how these networks are enacted. Simultaneously\, however\, our review only identifies limited reliable evidence of the impact of inter-school social capital networks. We conclude by identifying what research is needed in future to improve our understanding of inter-school social capital networks. \nTime converter at worldtimebuddy.com \nAbout the presenters:\nRuth Luzmore: is a Research Fellow in the School of Education at the University of Southampton.

Adopting a whole network perspective\, we conducted a case study of one mandated hospital network in Ireland. Our findings show that the espoused NAO (Network Administrative Organization) governance model was unable to respond to the accountability and governance challenges that arose. We identify how pre-existing bonding social capital between the “centralised network broker” (the Network Administrative Organisation) and the hub hospital limited the potential for social capital to expand from a private to a public good that could benefit the network as a whole. We draw attention to the importance of monitoring social capital development during network governance implementation and to how opposing poles of network tensions are managed. \nTime converter at worldtimebuddy.com \nAbout the presenter:\nMara has a strong research background and almost a decade of industry experience as Senior Economist in a public teaching hospital\, Business Manager and Main Inspector at the National Agency for Fiscal Administration.

Berlan\, and Byung Hee Min. \nThe creation of community social capital unifies nonprofits’ expressive and instrumental goals as nonprofit sustainability is determined by community-based market economies. Knutsen and Brower (2010) articulate the nonprofit dual accountabilities featured as resource-seeking (instrumental) and value-seeking (expressive) activities. Much research underscores social entrepreneurial models of nonprofit management as catalysts for ensuring ongoing engagement with both the community and the market. How a nonprofit facilitates social capital depends on the learning and innovation processes to advance their adaptive mobilization of resources\, staff\, stakeholders\, and competencies for addressing the social cause and needs through service provision. \nSome studies note that new entrepreneurial priorities concerning marketization can jeopardize less profitable activities (Eikenberry & Kluver\, 2004; Seo\, 2020). It is important to clarify how innovations become focused on enlarging a particular community-building domain. Mission fulfillment as the expressive orientation may hold up the interdependence between the social value potential and the market potential of nonprofits (Beaton\, 2021; Dart\, 2004). The nonprofit mission sets the organization’s end goal to serve the social cause and is realized through community engagement oriented to the mission (Kirk & Nolan\, 2010). The shared mission thus inspires mission-driven efforts in management\, which in turn mobilizes innovative capacity for community engagement. Taken together\, we ask: Does shared mission in a nonprofit guide its learning and innovation impacts to be instrumental to their role in promoting community social capital? \nThis study proposes a conceptual framing in which nonprofits animating their learning and innovation practices instilled with a shared mission orientation would well perform the role in facilitating community social capital. By employing a structural equation modeling analysis\, we tested a first-stage moderated mediation model. The findings provide empirical support for the hypothesized framework. We discuss how nonprofits successfully engage in community building. \nAbout the presenter:\nSungdae Lim is an Assistant Professor of Public Administration in the Department of Political Science at Sam Houston State University. He holds a PhD in Public Administration from Florida State University. Dr. Lim’s research centers on public and nonprofit leadership\, innovation\, and coproduction with emphasis on social equity\, community engagement\, and social construction in public service governance. \nDavid G.

By leveraging social relationships\, businesses can unlock new opportunities\, drive innovation\, and pave the way for future profitability. Therefore\, it is important to measure and disclose SC in financial reports. \nIn this webinar\, Dr Chnar Rashid will explore the significance of measuring and disclosing social capital within financial reports. Although there is no financial indicator to measure SC\, it can be measured through a questionnaire at the individual level (Wu\, 2021). Thus\, this presentation illustrates the way in which SC can be measured through a financial indicator. \nThe webinar will showcase innovative approaches to integrating social capital metrics into financial reporting frameworks\, offering practical insights into how SC can be quantified and represented in financial statements. By bridging the gap between social relationships and financial performance\, organizations can enhance transparency\, stakeholder trust\, and long-term value creation. \nDon’t miss this opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the evolving landscape of social capital measurement and its implications for financial reporting.

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.
