The Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research
(ICPSR) Summer Program in Quantitative Methods of Social Research is
pleased to announce its current course offerings on network analysis.
This is an excellent opportunity to learn about this increasingly
important and expanding field from internationally-recognized
instructors who are not only first-rate scholars but also excellent
teachers.

 

In 2010, we will be offering three five-day workshops in three different
locations:

 

Network Analysis: An Introduction. June 7-11, Ann Arbor, MI.
Instructors: Stanley Wasserman (Psychology and Statistics, Indiana
University) and Ann McCranie (Sociology, Indiana University).

 

Social Network Analysis: An Introduction. July 12-16, Chapel Hill, NC.
Instructor: Katherine Faust (Sociology, University of California,
Irvine).

 

Network Analysis: Theory and Methods. August 16-20, Bloomington, IN.
Instructors: Bernice Pescosolido (Sociology, Indiana University);
Stanley Wasserman (Psychology and Statistics, Indiana University); Ann
McCranie (Sociology, Indiana University).

 

All three of these courses will cover similar material. The two
introductory workshops will focus primarily on methods for analyzing
relational data measured on groups of actors, along with the software
tools for estimating network models. The theory and methods workshop
will cover substantive considerations regarding networks, as well as
methodological strategies for analyzing them. 

 

Unlike other workshops on network analysis being offered this summer at
sites around the world, these ICPSR workshop offerings have been taught
in this format for more than 25 years. ICPSR workshops are known for
their small class sizes, easy access to very expert instructors, and
hands-on computing exercises. Detailed software instruction illustrates
how to construct, visualize, and analyze networks in several major
software packages: UCINET, Pajek, PNet, Netdraw, and Network Workbench.
Instructors meet with students face-to-face to discuss individual
projects (bring your own data!). These workshops are simply the best
around.

 

Course descriptions, registration information, and the fee structure are
all available on the ICPSR Summer Program web site:
