SUMMARY:WEBINAR: Unveiling health inequities: Exploring the role of social capital and public trust in bridging racial disparities in health‐care coverage for Hispanics
DESCRIPTION:Home\n											\n									\n\n											\n										Events\n											\n									\n\nWEBINAR: Unveiling health inequities: Exploring the role of social capital and public trust in bridging racial disparities in health‐care coverage for Hispanics\nFree Public Webinar on Zoom and YouTubeWednesday\, May 7\, 2025 @ 5:00 pm – 6:30 pm CDT \n																														 \nInvited Speaker\nDr Hyunseok Hwang\nAssistant ProfessorDepartment of SociologyAjou University South Korea \n		https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hC_ywqxV8yk \nThis study examines the racial disparity in health‐care coverage between Hispanics and whites. 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. He received a Ph.D. in sociology and an MPA from Texas A&M University. His academic interests include organization theory\, environmental sociology\, community resilience\, philanthropic studies and social entrepreneurship. His research has an overarching theme of identifying how organizations respond to institutional heterogeneity\, grand societal challenges (i.e.\, massive social and environmental issues) and challenges to organizational sustainability. \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: Perversity and Deficiency: A Social Capital Understanding of Violent Crime Against Women
DESCRIPTION:Home\n											\n									\n\n											\n										Events\n											\n									\n\nWEBINAR: Perversity and Deficiency: A Social Capital Understanding of Violent Crime Against Women\nFree Public Webinar on Zoom and YouTubeWednesday\, April 23\, 2025 @ 2:00 pm – 3:30 pm CDT \n																														 \nInvited Speaker\nMaya FarrHenderson\nResearcherBehavioral Health & Performance Laboratory \n		https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sq7Zqi0cT-A \nOver the past two decades\, femicide—the gender-based killing of women or girls—has become an issue of international concern. Yet relatively little data on perpetrators exist. Current research primarily focuses on individual risk factors with less attention on community and societal factors. This conversation will draw on a study of femicide which analyzed the extent to which crime perpetrators experience and perceive social punishment (exclusion/withdrawal of social capital). \nWithin a social network\, individuals trust one another not to violate behavioral norms; otherwise\, offenders can expect consequences and social isolation. Yet crime and violence persist even within tight social networks. We will discuss and consider two primary social capital related explanations for the incidence of violent crime: a deficit of social capital and the perversion of social capital. The social capital deficit approach suggests the absence of key moral referees in the social environments of perpetrators whereas perverse social capital may incentivize violent crime to establish and maintain social connections. \nWe measured social capital pre- and post-incarceration among 208 male perpetrators of violent crime (femicide\, homicide\, and non-lethal violence). Our data show a lack of social punishment for femicide compared to other crimes\, indicating some degree of social legitimization of femicide. These findings support the development of community-level interventions to prevent femicide  . \nMaya FarrHenderson is presenting a summary presentation of her work\, “Perceptions of Social Capital Before and After the Perpetration of Femicide\, Homicide\, and Other Serious Crimes: Evidence from Argentina” co-authored by Martín Hernán Di Marco and Dabney P. Evans. \nTime converter at worldtimebuddy.com \nAbout the presenter:\nMaya FarrHenderson\, MPH is a researcher at the Behavioral Health & Performance Laboratory\, Houston\, TX.

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

SUMMARY: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: (Negative) social capital and requests for resources: the case of small business owners in Uganda
DESCRIPTION:Home\n											\n									\n\n											\n										Events\n											\n									\n\nWEBINAR: (Negative) social capital and requests for resources: the case of small business owners in Uganda\nFree Public Webinar on Zoom and YouTubeWednesday\, March 19\, 2025 @ 9:00 am – 10:30 am CET \n																														 \nInvited Speaker\nDr Giacomo Solano\nAssistant Professor in Migrant Inclusion Nijmegen School of Management\,Department of Economics and Business EconomicsRadboud University \n		https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p0aQ0SJqdlc \nThis presentation explores the concept of negative social capital\, a counterpart to the commonly celebrated benefits of social networks. 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. He is affiliated to the Radboud University Network on Migrant Inclusion (RUNOMI). He holds a PhD in Social Sciences from the University of Amsterdam and University of Milan-Bicocca (joint degree). His research interests include social and labour market integration of migrants\, migrant entrepreneurship\, comparative integration policies\, social dynamics in developing countries and social network analysis. \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?

SUMMARY:WBINAR: The role of social capital in agricultural research for development
DESCRIPTION:Home\n											\n									\n\n											\n										Events\n											\n									\n\nWEBINAR: The role of social capital in agricultural research for development\nFree Public Webinar on Zoom and YouTubeWednesday\, March 12\, 2025 @ 3:00 pm – 4:30 pm EST \n																														 \nInvited Speaker\nDeissy Martínez Barón\nRegional Program Leader\nClimate Action research for Latin America Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT \n		https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqAXXODuX8s \nAgrifood systems are facing pressing sustainability and resilience challenges\, necessitating science and innovation to drive transformative change. 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. She leads Climate Action research for Latin America at the Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT\, overseeing multi-country initiatives for sustainable food systems. Her PhD research in Geography from the University of Copenhagen explored how social capital enables the scaling of climate-smart agriculture in the context of agricultural research for development (AR4D). Her work bridges science and policy to enhance climate resilience\, sustainable finance\, and evidence-based solutions. Deissy collaborates with governments\, private sector stakeholders\, and international organizations to drive inclusive\, scalable strategies for agricultural adaptation and sustainability. Her leadership has contributed to strengthening resilience in agrifood systems across Latin America\, ensuring impactful\, science-driven interventions that address climate challenges at multiple levels. \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.

SUMMARY:Webinar: A systematic literature review of social capital assessments in higher education
DESCRIPTION:Home\n											\n									\n\n											\n										Events\n											\n									\n\nWEBINAR: A systematic literature review of social capital assessments in higher education\nFree Public Webinar on Zoom and YouTubeWednesday\, February 12\, 2025 @ 3:00 pm – 4:30 pm EST \n																														 \nInvited Speaker\nMx. 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. Adrian Nat Gentry is a PhD candidate at Purdue University in Engineering Education. They have a background in materials engineering with a bachelor’s and master’s degree in the field. Mx.

SUMMARY:WEBINAR: Economics of Social Relations. Critical Perspectives on Social Capital
DESCRIPTION:Home\n											\n									\n\n											\n										Events\n											\n									\n\nWEBINAR: Economics of Social Relations. 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.

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.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Social capital in academia: measuring researchers' collaboration preferences versus habits
DESCRIPTION:Home\n											\n									\n\n											\n										Events\n											\n									\n\nWEBINAR: Social capital in academia: measuring researchers’ collaboration preferences versus habits\nFree Public Webinar on Zoom and YouTubeWednesday\, January 29\, 2025 @ 9:00 am – 10:30 am CET \n																														 \nInvited Speaker\nDr Alesia A. 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. She is a Ph.D graduate from the Faculty of Information\, University of Toronto (Canada)\, and currently works as an Associate Professor in the Department of Communication\, University of Copenhagen (Denmark). Her research bridges qualitative and quantitative approaches\, with a particular focus on scholarly communication and research evaluation. In recent years\, her work has concentrated on the assessment of research outputs in the social sciences and humanities. Many of her publications appear in journals such as Research Evaluation\, Quantitative Studies of Science\, Scientometrics\, and the Journal of the Assocation for Information Science and Technology (JASIST).  Dr. Zuccala is an advocate for diversity\, equity and inclusion in academia\, writes academic blogs occasionally\, and enjoys exploring new ways to incorporate digital tools/methods in her teaching. She is an active member of the International Society for Scientometrics and Informetrics (ISSI) and serves on the editorial board of JASIST. \nAbout Our Webinar Series\nThis event is part of our regular webinar sessions for social capital researchers including PhD/master students.

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.

DESCRIPTION:Home\n											\n									\n\n											\n										Events\n											\n									\n\nWEBINAR: The Relationship between Social Capital and Health Outcomes in a Southern Rural Population\nFree Public Webinar on Zoom and YouTubeWednesday\, November 13\, 2024 @ 3:00 pm – 4:30 pm EST \n																										 \nInvited Speaker\nLauren Bigger\nDoctoral candidate\nDepartment of Behavioral\, Social and Health Education Sciences\nEmory University \n		https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMWQ7_U9d3U \nThere is a growing body of evidence suggesting that social capital impacts health outcomes. However\, less research has been done among those who live in rural communities and there are questions on how the associations between social capital and health may vary based on demographic and community characteristics. Utilizing data from a 5-year health equity initiative\, Lauren will present findings from a study on the associations between social capital and several measures of health and well-being among residents of rural Southwest Georgia. She will discuss the variation in associations by race and degree of rurality as well as the implications that these findings may have for social capital researchers and rural public health practitioners. \nTime converter at worldtimebuddy.com \nAbout the presenter:\nLauren Bigger is a doctoral candidate in the Department of Behavioral\, Social and Health Education Sciences in the Rollins School of Public Health at Emory University. Her primary research interests are in community-based approaches to understanding and addressing health inequities\, including assessing how outer contextual factors\, such as social capital\, influence health outcomes and the implementation of health-related policy\, systems and environmental changes. She currently employs mixed methods approaches to evaluate the impact of a community-based rural health equity initiative and the scalability and translation of a program to promote healthy eating among low-income families. Lauren holds a Master’s in Public Health from Northeastern University and a Bachelor of Arts in Communication of Science and Technology from Vanderbilt University. She lives in Atlanta\, Georgia with her equally nerdy husband\, 3 inquisitive young children and their very patient dog. \nAbout Our Webinar Series\nThis event is part of our regular webinar sessions for social capital researchers including PhD/master students.

SUMMARY:Social Capital Research Design and Methods
DESCRIPTION:A workshop discussing the research process with a focus on social capital research.\n\n\n\nAre you conducting research on social capital?\nWould you like to discuss or get some help with your research design?\nDo you have any problems or challenges with your research design?\n\nThese sessions are a supportive way to learn more about social capital research design and methods. You can connect with people\, ask questions\, get advice\, and discuss ideas or issues. \nWho is this for? \nAlthough this workshop is focused on PhD students\, we welcome anyone conducting research on social capital. \nWho will run the workshop? \nBeverly Sloan has a PhD in Organisational Leadership from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology. She is a veteran of the United States Air Force with more than 32 years of service. Her leisure activity includes mentoring masters and doctoral candidates on research practices. \nHow will the session work? \nIn these sessions\, we aim to discuss the research process. This includes defining research; discussing research significance\, problems\, and purposes; examining your worldview and philosophical stance; developing research questions\, sub-questions\, and hypotheses; and your theoretical or conceptual framework. We will discuss the initial literature review and its purpose in helping you build your initial central research question. We will use the initial research question to guide the preliminary literature review. During the preliminary literature review\, we will consider defining your key concepts and how they will drive your overall literature review. As we discuss the literature review\, the goal is to refine the research question\, identify gaps in the literature\, and focus the literature review on the central aspects of your research question. This should also help us develop a good outline for our literature review and identify variables or sub-research questions. Once we understand how the literature review shapes our study\, we will move on to research methods and design or our roadmap for collecting data. Then we will move on to data analysis and conclude by combining all the pieces. This will not be a linear process\, but it will be a process. \nAccess requirements \nWe seek to make our events accessible\, and this is no exception. If there is something that will help you to engage more effectively in this session\, please email us on: events@intsocialcapital.org. Sometimes\, it’s the small things that make a big difference\, so do email us if you have an access request. We recognise that not all participants are able to attend all sessions for the full duration. You are free to join us and leave at any time during the session. We request that you have your name on Zoom (this can be just a first name) to make it easier for us to facilitate the session and address participants correctly. It helps to have cameras on\, but we recognise that sometimes this isn’t possible\, for a variety of reasons.

SUMMARY:WEBINAR: Inter-school social capital: lessons for school leaders on how to maximise the benefits of networks and networking
DESCRIPTION:Home\n											\n									\n\n											\n										Events\n											\n									\n\nWEBINAR: Inter-school social capital: lessons for school leaders on how to maximise the\nbenefits of networks and networking\nFree Public Webinar on Zoom and YouTubeWednesday\, October 30\, 2024 @ 9:00 am – 10:30 am GMT \nInvited Speakers\n																										 \nMs Ruth Luzmore\nSouthampton Education School\, University of Southampton\, UK \n																										 \nProfessor Chris Brown\nSouthampton Education School\, University of Southampton\, UK \n		https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WyOGzurRmW8 \nEducators need to engage in continuous learning to ensure that their knowledge and practice responds to the changing needs of society and 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. Ruth has extensive experience in the education sector\, having worked in various roles within state schools\, including headteacher. Ruth’s current research includes developing innovative methods for training soft skills through video games for EU Horizon funded MEGASKILLs project; the role of Professional Learning Networks to support school leaders and teachers to raise standards; and\, most recently work on the Ideas-Informed Society. \nProfessor Chris Brown: is Professor of Education (University of Southampton)\, Head of the Southampton Education School and Distinguished Visiting Professor\, University of Tübingen. Chris has a long-standing interest in how people use networks to improve teaching and learning within schools and across school systems.
