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.

Adrian Nat Gentry \nPhD candidate Purdue University \n https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uq2K5iVN-nE \nDespite social capital theory being a valuable theoretical framework in the field of higher education and having multiple well-established methods proposed by seminal researchers\, there is limited synthesis on how to assess students’ social capital in higher education. This lack of consensus perpetuates inconsistent findings and evidence for educational interventions. In this presentation\, Mx. Adrian Gentry will share their findings from a review of 93 higher education studies on social capital quantitative assessments. The aim of the study is to evaluate quantitative social capital assessments\, based on survey design and operationalized measures\, and recommend methods\, operationalized measures and assessment instruments for social capital. Results from the 93 articles revealed that generators (18 papers)\, social network analysis (5 papers)\, and standard Likert measures (80 papers) were commonly used to assess social capital. Standard Likert measures\, while most common\, were rarely aligned with social capital theory\, reducing the validity of the measures. Results also showed that operationalizations of social capital were heavily rooted in social network theory\, where social capital is accessed through social networks (86 papers) and actions from alters (65 papers) in the students’ network. However\, direct measures of social capital—that is\, network characteristics\, access to supports\, and seminal definitions of trust and community—were less common. \nThis study provides important consensus and recommendations for researchers to select assessment instruments appropriate for their study and rooted in principles of assessment validity. We recommend researchers select survey methods (e.g.\, social capital generators) and operationalizations (e.g.\, actions from alters) that are well aligned with social capital theory. Assessment instruments designed using strong theoretical frameworks\, such as Lin’s network theory of social capital\, add to the validity of the researchers’ instrument design\, use and interpretation of the students’ social capital scores. \nTime converter at worldtimebuddy.com \nAbout the presenter:\nMx.

Critical Perspectives on Social Capital\nFree Public Webinar on Zoom and YouTubeWednesday\, February 5\, 2025 @ 8:00 pm – 9:30 pm CET \nEditor: Routledge – Taylor & Francis Group (2025) \nBook presentation by the authors\n \nAtilano Pena-López\nProfessor of Economic Policy\nUniversity of A Coruña\nSpain \n \nMatías Membiela-Pollán \nAssociate Professor of Marketing and Market Research \nUniversidade da Coruña\nSpain \n https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2eNiLQ0h96s \nStarting from the idea that economic relations are all social relations\, and every economic fact is first a social fact\, this book explores one of the crucial problems within economic science: how to incorporate the social dimension into the study of economic reality from a critical perspective. \nThis book opens with an examination of the concept of social capital\, incorporating all the approaches from the last 30 years of analysis. Furthermore\, it reviews the two main orientations of existing research programmes in social capital: the macro or culturalist perspective and the micro or individual social capital. Finally\, this book explores the link between social capital and the negative aspects of social reality\, such as corruption or inequality\, and\, through the study of so-called relational goods\, the influence of social capital on subjective well-being. The analysis of the concept of social capital not only involves economists but also requires a necessary bridge with sociology\, anthropology\, political science\, and even psychology. \nThis book will\, therefore\, be crucial reading for anyone engaged in the problem of the interrelation between economy and society. \nTime converter at worldtimebuddy.com \nAbout the presenters:\nJosé Atilano Pena López (Celeiro-Lugo\, 1968) is Professor of Economic Policy at the University of A Coruña\, has a PhD in Economics\, and is Member of the OSIM (Social Organizations\, Institutions and Markets) research group.

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.

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.

Emergencies\, disasters and catastrophes impact all sectors of society: business\, not-for-profit\, community and the public sectors. \nEstablishing social networks before the event\, planning for recovery proactively\, leads to better post event outcomes. The challenge is how do we encourage and facilitate connections necessary for the entire community to work together\, before and after the event occurs. This panel will look at existing systems in North America\, current methodologies in use and discuss innovative and cutting edge ideas to create strong societal bonds. \nTime converter at worldtimebuddy.com \nAbout the panelists:\nTimothy Little works in community disaster recovery. He has a degree in urban and regional planning and worked at councils of government/regional planning commissions in Missouri and Indiana\, getting his start in disaster recovery after a tornado struck the community where he was living.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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