Title: Network Analysis with R

Date: Thursday, October 26th, 18:00 – 20:00 CEST (Rome, Berlin, Paris timezone)

Speaker: David Schoch is the team lead for “Transparent Social Analytics” in the Department Computational Social Science at GESIS in Cologne. Before joining GESIS, David was a Presidential Fellow in the Department of Sociology at the University of Manchester, affiliated with the “Mitchell Centre for Social Network Analysis”. He has a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Konstanz and is the creator and maintainer of several network analysis R packages.

Description: Network analysis is a multidisciplinary field that delves into the intricate web of connections and interactions among entities, whether they are individuals, organizations, or nodes in a complex system. By employing graph theory, statistical methods, and computational tools, network analysis unveils the hidden patterns, structures, and dynamics that underlie these relationships.

In this workshop, I will introduce the package ecosystem for network analysis in R. I provide an overview of the key packages to conduct network studies and discuss some practical aspects. No network theory will be introduced, but I provide pointers for those who are interested to learn more beyond practical skills.
