SUMMARY:WEBINAR: The Relationship between Social Capital and Health Outcomes in a Southern Rural Population 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.

We’ll explore the strengths and challenges Guernsey faces\, from its strong sense of belonging and trust to the growing threats posed by inequality\, social divides\, and an aging population. The webinar will highlight key opportunities to safeguard and enhance Guernsey’s social capital\, including actionable strategies for fostering greater connectedness\, building trust\, and empowering local organisations. Whether you’re a researcher\, policymaker\, or community leader\, this session offers valuable insights into how we can evaluate community social capital and identify insights for implementing meaningful change. The techniques and findings are highly relevant to anyone interested in social capital\, community and economic development\, and social wellbeing. \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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

The results are drawn from qualitative studies conducted in two French medium-sized shrinking cities. The findings show that similarly to the institutional and collective forms of social capital analyzed in previous literature\, informal social capital is also impacted by the changes affecting urban place in the context of shrinkage\, and particularly weakened for elderly residents – especially women – and young professionals. At the same time\, it constitutes an efficient resource\, that helps residents facing shrinkage-related problems individually rather than addressing shrinkage itself collectively. Finally\, the findings highlight the role of specific social actors such as community centres who\, by providing institutionalized sources of social capital\, foster the creation of informal social capital and allow us to address its unequal distribution and weakening. This emphasizes the need to reconsider current social capital-based planning strategies\, from relying mainly on collective initiatives addressing shrinkage\, to supporting institutional social actors in the creation of small scale\, individual level social ties and interactions. \nTime converter at worldtimebuddy.com \nAbout the presenter:\nI am an urban scholar who combines ethnographic methods and critical theoretical approaches from geography and sociology to explore the everyday politics of urban change. \nI study how urban actors’ everyday experience and negotiation of urban change contributes to reproduce\, transform\, and sometimes challenge unequal sociospatial orders. My PhD research examined the everyday politics of urban shrinkage\, including residents’ agentive mitigation of stigma\, sensory micro-politics in impoverishing and ethnically diversifying neighbourhoods\, the construction and mobilisation of urban symbols\, and the role of public actors in recomposing social capital weakened by long-term outmigration. \nI was a Marie Sklodowska Curie fellow and PhD candidate in the Department of Geography\, Planning and Development Studies at the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands\, where I was part of the Urban Geography research group. Since September 2023\, I am based at Université Paris Est Créteil\, where I am a Research and Education Fellow and teach courses in general sociology and qualitative research design. \nAbout Our Webinar Series\nThis event is part of our regular webinar sessions for social capital researchers including PhD/master students.

What if we knew? Imagine we could pinpoint exactly who caused other people to do things\, and how much–whether that was shopping\, going to the doctor\, voting\, consuming media\, or any other action. What if we also knew how much this happened in general\, and how it varied from context to context? \nIn this talk\, I’ll explain a new method for measuring the effects of interactions over time\, which we call “Social Value.” Most of the solutions for this age-old challenge have been based on social media\, where we infer influence from follower counts or reposts\, but which aren’t tied to outcomes. They haven’t been falsifiable. Social Value solves for this\, and gets us beyond guesswork. Although we are in the early days of the research\, it’s also opening up theorizing and practice around why and how people lead and follow. In this talk\, I’ll discuss the general concept of Social Value\, how we’ve tested and validated it\, and what we’ve found\, including connections to personality\, race and social capital. I’ll also cover the method’s potential for network research and use in social science more broadly. \nTime converter at worldtimebuddy.com \nAbout the presenter:\nDmitri Williams (PhD\, Michigan 2004) is a professor at USC Annenberg\, where he teaches courses on technology and society\, games and data analytics. His current work focuses on the study of influence among populations through the concept of “social value.” His ongoing work centers on the social and economic impacts of new media\, often within online games. He works actively with companies and startups across the tech sectors. Williams was the first researcher to use online games for experiments and to undertake longitudinal research on video games\, and now uses a wide variety of methods ranging from experiments\, surveys\, and machine learning to content analysis and the occasional ethnography. \nAbout Our Webinar Series\nThis event is part of our regular webinar sessions for social capital researchers including PhD/master students.

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.

In doing so\, the Arbitration Committee does not simply decide or arbitrate disputes but seeks to attenuate their impact on Wikipedia’s social fabric. This data allows us to revisit sociological debates on the role of social capital\, by revealing the ways in which well-connected individuals employ it strategically in order to obfuscate their noncompliance with norms\, thus leading to what I call “dispute cancellation.” \nTime converter at worldtimebuddy.com \nAbout the presenter:\nFlorian Grisel is Research Fellow at the Centre national de la recherche scientifique (SAGE\, Strasbourg) and Senior Research Associate at the University of Oxford (Centre for Socio-Legal Studies). Using a methodological approach combining archival research\, interviews\, and ethnographic work\, his research explores the emergence of law beyond the state\, in global and local settings. \nAbout Our Webinar Series\nThis event is part of our regular webinar sessions for social capital researchers including PhD/master students.

However\, a number of these perspectives are difficult to either be understood or operationalized by industry. Their conceptualization of Social Capital is not aligned with the way many firms\, especially technical ones understand the resources they have. For example\, Bordieu’s focus is on the accrued value obtained via relationships and have received more interest from scholars. Upon presentation to industry audiences however\, the speaker found a lot of resistance especially when the measures are difficult to map to their framework.  \nIt was Putnam who observed Social Capital is not a unidimensional concept\, and Nahapiet and Ghoshal (1997\, 1998) who integrated these different facets. They do so by focusing on the network of relationships and trust among people who live and work together\, a critical asset for industries. It’s the glue that holds organizations together\, fostering collaboration\, innovation\, and efficiency. In the workplace\, social capital leads to more effective team synergy\, as employees who feel connected are more likely to be engaged and productive. Companies can leverage social capital by encouraging networking\, mentoring\, and team-building activities that strengthen interpersonal connections. This investment in social relationships can result in a more cohesive\, resilient\, and agile organization\, capable of navigating challenges and capitalizing on opportunities including innovation. It is this perspective that many industries found much more aligned with their social understanding of their organizations\, especially when mapped to outputs of ESG. Rahmat will present these observations via three client case studies. \nAbout the presenter:\nRahmat Shazi is currently the Technology Director of ShazInnovation Solution as well as member of the Board of COMBAT Advance Meditech. Through his PhD on Innovation Management\, he is an expert on the application of Social Capital for Social Risk Assessment\, Trust Management leveraging on Social Capital models\, and Commercialization of Innovations. He has had 25 years of prior experience in PETRONAS as well as consulting work in Australia. \nCurrently he is an Industry Advisory Panel of 10 universities\, both Malaysian and international. He is a member of the Australia-Malaysia Business Council\, and while in Australia working as a part-time consultant\, the Chairman of the Malaysia Scientific Diaspora from 2013-2014. He is also a member of the newly-formed Selangor Innovation Enculturation Committee. \nAbout Our Webinar Series\nThis event is part of our regular webinar sessions for social capital researchers including PhD/master students.
