SUMMARY:WEBINAR: Health and social capital: a series of empirical studies on the causal effects of health on social capital
DESCRIPTION:Invited Speaker\nDr Michael Lebenbaum\nSenior Manager\, Health Economics & Outcomes Research \nCanadian Cancer Society \n		https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5oy5n8RWes0 \nAlthough there is a rich literature examining the relationships between social capital and health\, a neglected topic has been the effects of health on social capital. Economic models highlight that health is an important input into the production of social capital\, yet few studies have investigated the causal impacts of health on social capital. I will highlight findings from a series of studies that have investigated the effects of different facets of health\, including mental health\, child health and the COVID-19 pandemic. Studies will draw on an array of econometric methods\, including instrumental variable analyses\, time series designs\, and sibling fixed effects models. \n\nLebenbaum M\, de Oliveira C\, Gagnon F\, Laporte A. Child health and its effect on adult social capital accumulation. Health Economics. 2024 Jan 18. doi: 10.1002/hec.4792.

Social Science & Medicine. 2021 Mar 1;272:113693.\n\nTime converter at worldtimebuddy.com \nAbout the presenter:\nMichael Lebenbaum is the Senior Manager\, Health Economics & Outcomes Research for the Canadian Cancer Society. He completed a MSc in epidemiology from Western University\, a PhD in Health Economics from the University of Toronto and recently completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He has worked as an epidemiologist at Public Health Ontario and ICES. His research interests include applying econometric methods to examining the determinants of social capital and the social impacts of illness and conducting studies estimating the cost-effectiveness of public policies. \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? Click here for more information and to submit a proposal. \nGenerally\, presentations can be 20 to 30 mins. The content of your presentation will depend on your research stage.

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.

SUMMARY:WEBINAR: All is Not Lost: Organized Crime and Social Capital Formation
DESCRIPTION:Invited Speaker\nProfessor Paolo Buonanno\nDepartment of Economics University of Bergamo \n		https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5WBjngbp3xA \nWe investigate how a disruptive social event\, namely the emergence of organized crime infiltration in the local government\, shapes social capital. We exploit the dismissal of city councils infiltrated by organized crime and a novel and fine-grained measure of social capital in Italy. Using a difference-indifferences strategy\, we show that municipalities’ dissolution is associated with a significant and sizable increase in social capital. We document the mechanisms through which the presence of organized crime affects social capital\, including trust diversion\, changes in civic engagement\, and its impact on local institutions and governance. \nTime converter at worldtimebuddy.com \nAbout the presenter:\nFull Professor in Economics at the Department of Economics at the University of Bergamo since March 2016.

SUMMARY:WEBINAR: First-in-Family Students Accessing and Operationalizing Social Capital in Higher Education: Self-Crafting\, Social Disadvantage and the Pursuit of Belonging
DESCRIPTION:Invited Speakers\n																										 \nAssociate Professor Garth Stahl\nSchool of Education\, University of Queensland \n																										 \nDr Sarah McDonald\nCentre for Research in Education & Social Inclusion in Education Futures\, University of South Australia \n		https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKsXcWGpIJE \nIn the context of higher education\, social capital typically refers to the network of relationships and resources that individuals and groups can draw upon to achieve their goals. Theories of social capital often highlight elements of trust\, reciprocity\, and a sense of belonging. It is widely assumed that students who are first-in-family (FIF) enter university with a lack of social capital and\, for the most part\, struggle to access and accumulate it at university. However\, social capital has an important role to play as it can be integral to how FIF students access information\, opportunities\, and support which are all crucial for their success in higher education. Therefore\, it is important we investigate how FIF students experience and rely on social capital as it can play a pivotal role in shaping their success at university and their prospects in future employment. \nDrawing on theories of social capital (Coleman\, Lin\, Bourdieu\, etc)\, this presentation captures how FIF students in Australia acquire social capital over the course of three years. Presenting empirical data\, we explore the fine-grained distinctions between how the participants accessed and operationalized social capital during their time in higher education. Operationalizing social capital involves skilfully utilizing various relationships to achieve one’s goals which can often be in constrast to more working-class communal values. As a provocation\, we explore how the accrual of social capital is closely related to what we refer to as self-crafting (Stahl & McDonald\, 2022). How FIF young people craft their sense of self in relation to experiences social capital has remained largely unexplored and undertheorized. In examining self-crafting\, we consider how the participants developed strategies to operationalize social capital in order to leverage their relationships and networks to their advantage and enhance their success in higher education. \nTime converter at worldtimebuddy.com \nAbout the presenters:\nGarth Stahl is an Associate Professor in the School of Education at the University of Queensland.  He is a co-founder of the Bourdieu in Educational Research SIG for the American Educational Research Association and has published widely in sociology of education drawing on a Bourdieusian approach.  Previously he co-edited a book with Bloomsbury entitled International Perspectives on Theorizing Aspiration: Applying Bourdieu’s Tools. \nSarah McDonald is a Lecturer at the Centre for Research in Education & Social Inclusion in Education Futures at the University of South Australia.

SUMMARY:WEBINAR: Cultural matters: A conversation about cultural and social capital
DESCRIPTION:Invited Speakers\n																										 \nDr. James Hale\nDepartment of SociologyColorado State University \n																										 \nTristan Claridge\nInstitute for Social Capital \n		https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqjLDElgzug \nIn this talk James Hale and Tristan Claridge will discuss the concept of cultural capital within the context of community development\, as well as its connections to social capital. James and Tristan recently connected about a review paper that James and co-authors published last year in the Journal of Rural Studies entitled “A systematic review of cultural capital in US community development research”. After reviewing 123 United States based community development articles that deployed the concept of cultural capital\, the study found there is a wide range of ways the concept is understood and used. Though often not well defined\, the review suggests that it tends to be viewed as creative industries or amenities; a distinct social group; knowledge\, values\, attitudes\, norms\, and beliefs; place-based; and/or an exercise of power. It tends to be used in three ways in community development: as a resource that can be used to develop community\, as something that needs to be preserved\, or something that ought to shape the very efforts that aim to develop communities. The authors suggest that cultural capital can be viewed as a meta capital\, that the concept highlights methodological tradeoffs\, and that reflexivity is vital in deploying cultural capital. \nJames and Tristan have a number of questions for each other as they continue to unpack and expand beyond the paper further discussing the implications of different ways cultural capital is conceptualized and deployed; the role of researchers\, practitioners\, and community members; and the connections between cultural capital and social capital. \nTime converter at worldtimebuddy.com \nAbout the presenters:\nDr. James Hale is Research Scientist in the Department of Sociology at Colorado State University. He specializes in studying the socio-cultural\, community\, and governance dimensions of food systems\, sustainability transitions\, and development. James has spent time in both practitioner and research settings including working as a Peace Corps agroforestry agent in Malawi\, helping spearhead alternative food network projects in Colorado\, and leading related research projects at Colorado State University and the Colorado School of Public Health. He was also Postdoctoral Fellow at the Centre for Sustainability at the University of Otago in New Zealand examining social sustainability and accountability in agricultural industry. Currently he is doing engaged research on the socio-cultural\, economic\, civic\, and institutional dimensions of community food systems and agricultural sustainability transitions such as improving soil health\, food security\, food sovereignty\, and the adoption of agrivoltaics. James’ work has been published in journals such as Geoforum\, Local Environment\, Journal of Rural Studies\, Community Development\, Agriculture and Human Values\, Social Science and Medicine\, and Journal of Agriculture\, Food Systems\, and Community Development. \nTristan Claridge has been researching and applying social capital for over 20 years. Tristan is a geographer and environmental scientist with a passion for social processes and how social value is identified and communicated. Tristan has a deep and grounded understanding of social capital and its application\, having worked on the concept from theoretical and practical perspectives. He draws on lessons from economics\, sociology\, political science\, psychology\, urban planning\, and any other discipline that contributes understanding to the concept. In addition to his practical work with the concept\, Tristan has been an active contributor to the academic debate about social capital. He has written over 200 open-access articles on social capital and related topics and is actively engaged in ongoing research. \nAbout Our Webinar Series\nThis event is part of our regular webinar sessions for social capital researchers including PhD/master students.

SUMMARY:WEBINAR: Measuring the social capital and resource acquisition of entrepreneurs residing in multiply deprived localities: implications for enterprise policy
DESCRIPTION:Invited Speaker\nDr Robert Lee\nSchool of Business and Management – Royal HollowayUniversity of London \n		https://youtu.be/hf0TzZZP6SY \nThis upcoming event invites researchers\, students\, professionals\, policymakers\, entrepreneurs themselves\, anyone with an interest in personal and humanistic relations to explore the nuances of social capital that impact entrepreneurship in the context of multiple deprivation. Results from nationally representative survey data will be presented and show that bonding networks\, trust\, reciprocity\, obligations and expectations\, shared language\, lingo and codes help explain the resources needed by entrepreneurs residing in multiply deprived areas to launch a new venture. However\, findings concurrently demonstrate that they are reluctant or unable to develop bridging networks\, distant social ties and shared narratives\, vignettes. Accordingly\, the social capital of excluded and marginalised entrepreneurs seems to be both facilitator-enabler and constraint. \nDespite efforts by successive Governments in the UK (e.g. Labour 1997 to 2010\, Coalition 2010 to 2015\, Conservative 2015 to- present) to provide loans and soft support to socially excluded entrepreneurs\, there has been a recent significant policy shift towards prioritising interventions for high-potential and innovative new businesses with ambitions to grow and disrupt. Policy has been directed at increasing the scalability and performance of entrepreneurs residing in multiply deprived areas without knowing about their social capital accumulation and access to resources-especially\, what factors facilitate or constrain. Put another way\, policies in this area that do not focus extensively on supporting and improving their use of ongoing social relations could be a hidden and potential underlying reason for policy ineffectiveness or ambiguity. \nTogether\, let’s foster discussion and evaluate the social capital that could be a catalyst for promoting life chances\, inter alia\, opportunities and resources as well as co-create potential new enterprise policy ideas with insight\, curiosity and empathy. \nTime converter at worldtimebuddy.com \nAbout the presenter:\nDr Robert Lee is a Senior Lecturer/Associate Professor in entrepreneurship and innovation within the School of Business and Management – Royal Holloway\, University of London. \nHe was previously a member of the Advanced Institute of Management AIM Scholars Pool and his research has been funded by the British Academy/Leverhulme Trust Small Grants scheme and Economic and Social Research Council ESRC Annual Festival of Social Science scheme.

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.

SUMMARY:WEBINAR: Getting by and getting ahead: the influence of informal relationships on the lives of young people leaving out of home care.
DESCRIPTION:Invited Speaker\nDr Jacinta Waugh\nDepartment of Social Work\nMonash University \n		https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2F8COh5Qvao \nLeaving care means the state ceases to have legal responsibility for young people in out-of-home care (alternative accommodation for those that cannot live with their parents) (Cashmore and Mendes 2008). Literature emphasises a gradual transition to adulthood and normative social experiences are necessary to counter adverse outcomes for care-experienced young people. Additionally\, developmental and environmental resources are crucial in helping them make a successful transition. However\, formal support systems may not always provide these resources. Hence\, there is a growing interest in what informal support can offer in aiding care leavers’ access to resources to facilitate a smoother transition. In examining how informal social resources may assist in a gradual transition\, an overall conceptual and analytical framework has been developed to explore how social capital and social support interact to access these resources. This presentation considers the value of this conceptual and analytical framework. \nThe study was conducted in Victoria\, Australia\, from 2016 to 2019. Eight care leavers and six nominated support people were interviewed. In order to illustrate the benefits of social capital and social support interactions\, three case studies are presented to show interactional variation. The case studies exemplify the role of informal social capital and social support in meeting fundamental needs. In conclusion\, the presentation discusses the benefits of social capital for young people leaving care and their implications. \nTime converter at worldtimebuddy.com​ \nTime converter at worldtimebuddy.com​ \nTime converter at worldtimebuddy.com \nAbout the presenter:\nJacinta Waugh is a Teaching Fellow and Researcher in the Department of Social Work at Monash University\, Australia where she completed her PhD thesis on the influence of informal relationships on the lives of young people leaving out-of-home care.

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.

SUMMARY:WEBINAR: Dr Esther Carmen: A socio-cultural perspective for working with social relationships in community sustainability initiatives in practice: A focus on relationship qualities
DESCRIPTION:Invited Speaker\nDr Esther Carmen\nEnvironmental Governance Researcher\nThe James Hutton Institute  \n			\n						 Certificate of attendance\n					\n		https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Zkbxy84Jbk \nSocial capital is widely recognised as a critical resource within community sustainability initiatives and for enhancing community resilience more generally. This talk draws on three studies on social capital relating to community resilience and\, more specially community-based sustainability initiatives. \nFirst\, a review of 187 community resilience and social capital studies is briefly presented that identifies limited attention (conceptually and empirically) on the socio-cultural dimensions (i.e. social norms\, values\, identities) of social capital in community resilience literature. Second\, a study that explored the social dynamics involved in developing a community sustainability initiative (a community fridge in Scotland) is briefly presented. The findings show a connection between the socio-cultural dimensions of social relationships in a shaping (initially) a decrease and a subsequent increase in the quality of relationships as this initiative was implemented. Whilst important such socio-cultural dimensions however may be challenging to actively work with in practice. Instead\, a focus on relationship qualities could provide new insights on the role of social relationship and how to better work through relationships within initiatives in practice. \nTo illustrate this a third study is briefly presented that explored different qualities of social relationships and their role across 22 diverse community sustainability initiatives in Scotland. Findings show that direct contributions and indirect benefits from social relationships were more diverse for some types of relationship qualities than others – and such diversity enhances flexibility. While a strong focus on expected benefits of social relationships and external barriers hindering the role of relationships was common\, some initiatives adopted a more agentic approach that involved explicitly navigating their social landscape by selecting opportunities to build relationships based on quality. Prioritising quality has the advantage of avoiding expending excessive energy on social relationships that are likely to yield little whilst also channelling resources to maximise the role of social relationships within initiatives. The flexibility the application of such relationship-based strategies can (co)create is important for engaging with local sustainability challenges of increasing complexity. \nTime converter at worldtimebuddy.com \nAbout the presenter:\nEsther is an interdisciplinary qualitative environmental social scientist interested in how different social actors (i.e. scientific\, policy\, community and business) can and do shape socio-environmental change processes. Her work focuses on advancing our understanding on how to work with and better involve these different actors in ways that can help guide the development of more sustainable collective futures. \nHer PhD (undertaken at the University of York\, UK and completed in 2021) addressed the question ‘How do social relationships\, amongst other diverse factors\, shape community change initiatives in the context of climate change?’. This led to 3 peer reviewed scientific papers\, with an additional paper currently under review. \nHer current research relates to environmental governance more broadly\, within Scotland and across Europe with a focus on the involvement of the private sector (different economic sectors and businesses) for mainstreaming nature-based approaches at scale that to deliver land-based and freshwater ecosystem restoration whilst also addressing societal challenges. \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? Click here for more information and to submit a proposal. \nGenerally\, presentations can be 20 to 30 mins. The content of your presentation will depend on your research stage.

SUMMARY:WEBINAR: Tristan Claridge: Outline for the social capital paradigm - Session 2
DESCRIPTION:Invited Speaker\nTristan Claridge\nPresident\nInternational Social Capital Association \n			\n						Certificate of attendance\n					\n		https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SzIKa8f2nM \nThis webinar will sketch an outline for the social capital paradigm by identifying the common themes and underlying similarities between different meanings of social capital. I will propose a consistent logic schema for social capital and ten “pillars” of the paradigm; statements that are broadly true and generally applicable to any interpretation of social capital. I anticipate this will allow researchers and practitioners to more easily see how different perspectives relate to each other in complementary rather than conflicting ways\, thereby improving the possibilities for discourse between scholars and comparisons between studies. It has been 25 years since Castle (1998) concluded that “unless the social capital concept is used with some degree of precision and in a comparable manner\, it will come to have little value as an analytical construct”. By outlining a paradigm for social capital\, it will be easier for researchers and practitioners to implement and evaluate quality scholarship\, thereby improving precision and comparability\, and therefore\, the explanatory and transformative potential of the concept for the benefit of everyone. \nTime converter at worldtimebuddy.com \nAbout the presenter:\nTristan Claridge has been researching and applying social capital for over 20 years. Tristan is a geographer and environmental scientist with a passion for social processes and how social value is identified and communicated. Tristan has a deep and grounded understanding of social capital and its application\, having worked on the concept from theoretical and practical perspectives. He draws on lessons from economics\, sociology\, political science\, psychology\, urban planning\, and any other discipline that contributes understanding to the concept. In addition to his practical work with the concept\, Tristan has been an active contributor to the academic debate about social capital. He has written over 200 open-access articles on social capital and related topics and is actively engaged in ongoing research. \nAbout Our Webinar Series\nThis event is part of our regular webinar sessions for social capital researchers including PhD/master students.

DESCRIPTION:Discussion of social capital and related concepts with a focus on the theoretical and practical application of the concept.\n\n\n\nAre you interested in social capital?\nDo you have questions about social capital research or practical applications?\nDo you want to explore conceptual or methodological issues in social capital?\n\nJoin Tristan Claridge\, the President of the International Social Capital Association\, for an informal discussion about social capital. This is a great opportunity to ask Tristan questions about social capital and draw on his 20+ years of working to clarify the concept. He will happily share his knowledge\, experience\, and thoughts with you. You can ask Tristan about your research or your practical application of social capital. You can ask questions\, get advice\, discuss ideas or issues\, get suggestions for literature to read\, or you can just listen. It’s a great way to participate in social capital discourse and find opportunities for mutual learning and collaboration and make connections with others. \nHow will the session work? \nThe session will be based on questions submitted by participants and will include general discussions of social capital and related concepts. The session will focus on the theoretical and practical application of the concept\, including its use in research. Submit the question you want to be answered or the issue you would like discussed when you register for the session. \nWho will run the workshop? \nTristan Claridge\, President of ISCA\, will facilitate this session. Tristan has been researching social capital for over 20 years. He has explored the theoretical foundations of the concept\, and much of his work aims to bring conceptual and theoretical clarification. \nAccess requirements \nWe seek to make our events accessible\, and this is no exception.

SUMMARY:WEBINAR: Prof. Paul E. Peterson: Are Connections the Way to Get Ahead?
DESCRIPTION:Invited Speaker\nProfessor Paul E. Peterson\nHenry Lee Shattuck Professor of Government\,Harvard University \n			\n						Certificate of attendance\n					\n		https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5NGMwPGsdo \nAre Connections the Way to Get Ahead?\nSocial Capital\, Student Achievement\, Friendships\, and Social Mobility\nChetty et al. (2022) say county density of cross-class friendships (referred to here as “adult-bridging capital”) has causal impacts on social mobility within the United States. We instead find that social mobility rates are a function of county density of family capital (higher marriage rates and two-person households)\, community capital (community organizations\, religious congregations\, and volunteering)\, and mean student achievement in grades 3-8. Our models use similar multiple regression equations and the same variables employed by Chetty et al. but also include state fixed effects\, student achievement\, and family\, community\, schoolbridging (cross-class high school friendships)\, and political (participation and institutional trust) capital. School-bridging capital is weakly correlated with mobility if adult-bridging is excluded from the model. R-squared barely changes when adult-bridging is incorporated into the model. When it is included\, mobility continues to be significantly correlated with the achievement\, family\, and community variables but not with school-bridging and political ones. We infer that county mobility rates are largely shaped by parental presence\, community life\, and student achievement. To enhance mobility\, public policy needs to enhance the lives of disadvantaged people at home\, in school\, and in communities\, not just the social class of their friendships. \nTime converter at worldtimebuddy.com \nAbout the presenter:\nPaul E. Peterson is Henry Lee Shattuck Professor of Government\, Director of the Program on Education Policy and Governance\, and Senior Editor of Education Next: A Journal of Opinion and Research\, all at Harvard University. He is also a Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution. He is a member of Hoover’s Education Success Initiative focusing on the improvement of education policy and providing public education solutions for state education and policy leaders. \nPeterson’s research interests include educational policy\, federalism\, social capital\, and charter schools. He has evaluated the effectiveness of school vouchers and other education reform initiatives\, identified growth in student performance and closing of social and ethnic gaps over the past fifty years\, and identified gains in student performance at charter schools. \nPeterson is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the National Academy of Education. Peterson is a recipient of a John Simon Guggenheim Fellowship\, the Woodrow Wilson Award from the American Political Science Association for the best book published in government or international relations and the Walton Family Foundation Prize for Best Academic Paper on School Choice and Reform awarded by the Economics and Finance Policy Association. The Editorial Projects in Education Research Center reported that Peterson’s studies on school choice and vouchers were among the country’s most influential studies of education policy. \nRecent books include Saving Schools: From Horace Mann to Virtual Learning and\, with Eric Hanushek and Ludger Woessmann\, Endangering Prosperity: A Global View of the American School.  \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? Click here for more information and to submit a proposal. \nGenerally\, presentations can be 20 to 30 mins. The content of your presentation will depend on your research stage.

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.
