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.

Grounded in social-emotional learning\, restorative practices\, and social motivational theory\, Heartwise Scholars practices an interactionalist approach to classroom management designed to better meet the social and academic needs of Generation Alpha learners. \nParticipants will learn about PART\, a cognitive framework used to help scholars make Heartwise decisions connected to self-awareness\, self-management\, social awareness\, and relationship skills in everyday learning experiences. Now completing its second full year of practice\, Heartwise Scholars will share lessons learned\, observed outcomes\, challenges\, and reflections from building a microschool model focused on developing scholars ages 5–18 who learn to take care of themselves\, their communities\, and the world around them. \nTime converter at worldtimebuddy.com \nAbout the presenter:\nDr. Crystal Goins is the founder of Heartwise Scholars Inc.\, a relationship-based microschool serving families in Coastal Virginia. Her work focuses on translating research into everyday educational practice through social-emotional learning\, restorative practices\, social motivational theory\, and interactionalist classroom management. As both an educator and working parent of five children\, Dr. Goins created Heartwise Scholars to support academic growth\, belonging\, and pro-social development in ways that are responsive to today’s learners. Heartwise Scholars recently completed its second year of practice and continues to explore how relationship-centered educational environments can strengthen social capital and community well-being. \nAbout Our Webinar Series\nThis event is part of our regular webinar sessions for social capital researchers including PhD/master students. These sessions include invited presentations from prominent scholars as well as presentations by PhD students and experts in professional practice.\nFor social capital researchers\, these sessions are an opportunity to hear about the latest social capital research and insights from scholars working on the concept. They can be a great way to connect with people\, to get advice\, discuss ideas or issues\, get suggestions for literature to read\, or you can just listen. \nAre you researching social capital and want to present your research?

Join Dr. Arif Sadri\, a pioneering civil engineer and resilience strategist\, and Dr. Jeff Donaldson\, Board Director of the International Social Capital Association\, for an exclusive January webinar previewing the groundbreaking Social Capital 2026 conference. \nThis session unveils a provocative fusion: engineering not as isolated blueprints\, but as a dynamic interplay with the invisible threads of trust\, networks\, and shared purpose that define social capital. \nThis webinar is a call to action for professional and academic leaders. Register now and secure your place where engineering meets empathy\, and social capital becomes the ultimate structural strength. \nThis event is organized by the Disaster Resilience Special Interest Group of the International Social Capital Association. It is a free event\, and everyone is welcome to attend. \nTime converter at worldtimebuddy.com \nAbout the presenters:\nDr. Arif Sadri\, whose expertise spans evacuation modelling\, urban flood mitigation\, and AI-driven interdependent infrastructure design\, will dissect how traditional engineering paradigms fall short without the “social glue” of community bonds.

Despite its shared understanding as beneficial resources available from the connections between people\, authors vary widely in their conceptualizations of social capital. To extract clarity from these disparate perspectives\, we offer a systematic framework for conceptualizing social capital\, which identifies three primary theoretical dimensions of scholars’ conceptualizations of social capital: (a) where beneficial resources reside\, ranging from within individuals to the relationships between individuals; (b) beneficial network structure\, differentiating closure from brokerage arrangements; and (c) the level to which rewards accrue\, distinguishing individual from collective benefits. We illustrate how combining these dimensions produces a unifying perspective that fosters reintegrating social capital’s disconnected conceptualizations. Finally\, we draw on this framework to both reconcile seeming contradictions and gaps in social capital scholarship\, and provide a principled means for prioritizing questions for future developments of social capital. \nTime converter at worldtimebuddy.com \nAbout the presenter:\njimi adams studies how networks constrain or promote the diffusion of information and/or diseases through populations. Much of this work has focused on HIV/AIDS and Covid-19 among populations in the US and Sub-Saharan Africa. Recently\, his work has focused more on the integrative patterns and processes in problem-focused areas of science that draw from many academic disciplines (e.g.\, HIV/AIDS\, demography\, the environment). \nAbout Our Webinar Series\nThis event is part of our regular webinar sessions for social capital researchers including PhD/master students. These sessions include invited presentations from prominent scholars as well as presentations by PhD students and experts in professional practice.\nFor social capital researchers\, these sessions are an opportunity to hear about the latest social capital research and insights from scholars working on the concept. They can be a great way to connect with people\, to get advice\, discuss ideas or issues\, get suggestions for literature to read\, or you can just listen. \nAre you researching social capital and want to present your research?

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.

Beyond traditional tactics around process efficiency and headcount reduction\, success in navigating these systemic conditions increasingly hinges on social capital: the collective trust\, resilience\, and engagement shared across an organization. \nEmotional intelligence (EQ) plays a pivotal role here. In 2025\, over 75% of Fortune 500 companies consider EQ essential to building these qualities into teams. Yet despite spending thousands per employee on coaching\, upskilling\, and workshops\, gains in EQ and social capital are often short-lived\, hard to scale\, and inconsistent across organizations. To date\, fewer than 20% of large U.S. companies have succeeded in fully integrating EQ at an organizational level. \nThis session explores how high-performing organizations are closing that gap — moving EQ beyond the interpersonal and into the structural to generate social capital at scale. When market leaders like Microsoft invest in EQ they don’t just develop individual leaders. They embed coveted EQ capabilities into the operating system of the organization\, creating sustainable business and cultural impact. \nThe overlooked truth that most organizations miss? EQ’s root value isn’t about better communication or “managing” emotion. It’s a strategic lens for systemically discerning and diagnosing the hidden destructive performance patterns behind large-scale disengagement\, resistance\, and turnover at scale. \nBy shifting from one-off programs to systemic EQ integration\, through policies\, rhythms\, and embedded practices\, organizations unlock more aligned\, agile\, and resilient core teams for today’s economic climate. The result: healthier cultures\, greater engagement and innovation\, and ~25% greater profitability. \nTime converter at worldtimebuddy.com \nAbout the presenter:\nGraham Hall is an Organizational Development and Talent Systems Strategist\, and former VP of People & Business Operations\, with over 12 years of experience at the intersection of applied psychology\, system design\, and high-growth tech — spanning cloud\, SaaS\, and AI. He designs human-centered\, emotionally intelligent systems and strategies that transform performance gaps into sustainable business and cultural assets — such as achieving near-zero turnover\, approximately 50% higher engagement\, and doubling staff tenure through cross-functional networks.

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.

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.

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. These sessions include invited presentations from prominent scholars as well as presentations by PhD students and experts in professional practice.\nFor social capital researchers\, these sessions are an opportunity to hear about the latest social capital research and insights from scholars working on the concept.

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.
