Humans are connected in various ways, forming social networks. The quality of social ties and the structure of social networks strongly influences individual-, group- and society-level outcomes. Building on social theory, this course introduces theoretical foundations and methodological tools for the analysis of small social networks (e.g., school cohorts, organisations) relevant for social scientists. We will learn to visualize social networks, to describe the positions of individuals within their networks, and to identify subgroups. After a general introduction to the statistical modelling of social networks and to the most important model families, we will gain deeper insight into a few important models.
