Social networks are powerful analytical tools that can help us operationalize many of our theories about the social world. Nonetheless, they also present difficult challenges. This workshop will cover a workflow utilizing Network Canvas and IDEANet to gather network data and generate measures, while minimizing these difficulties.
Description
Gabriel (he/him) received his PhD in Sociology from Duke University in May 2025. He currently works as a post-doctoral fellow with Brea Perry at the Irsay Institute. Gabriel is a medical sociologist and network analyst who studies the concurrence of social connections and experiences of health, combining quantitative and qualitative methods. His dissertation explored how medical authority is collectively generated and can produce new forms of illness trajectories. He examined mental health self-diagnosis – identifying with a mental illness without a formal diagnosis – as a case study of this process.
