by Aschauer Wolfgang 05 Feb '17

*** Sorry for cross-posting *** Dear colleagues, In my function as coordinator of the ESA Research Network 21 "Quantitative Methods" I want to draw your attention to our specific Call for Abstracts for the next European Sociological Association conference in Athens (end of August 2017). The general call for papers for the next ESA conference in Athens includes our specific call (please see: http://www.europeansociology.org/) We tried to adapt our Call for Abstracts to the general conference theme but we are also open for general methodological contributions and we have space to develop alternative sessions which are not already included in the program. You are highly welcome to submit an abstract to our research network and to join us in Athens! This works via https://www.conftool.pro/esa2017/ After completing registration and selecting our Network (RN 21), you see the list of our planned session. Please feel free to submit also abstracts which do not fit accordingly to our list of session. It is maybe the easiest way to place them under "General Session". Every participant is only allowed to upload one abstracts to a specific RN at the ESA conference this time. The abstract should not exceed 250 words. The deadline for submissions is the 1st of February 2017! We are looking forward to your contributions! Best regards, Wolfgang Assoz.-Prof. MMag.

CfP: “Social Networks and Intergroup Relations: New Questions and Challenges”, Sept 26-29, 2017
by Lars Leszczensky 01 Feb '17

01 Feb '17

*** Apologies for cross-posting *** Session at the 3rd European Conference on Social Networks (EUSN) at Johannes Gutenberg-University, Main, Germany, September 26 to 29, 2017 Call for Papers “Social Networks and Intergroup Relations: New Questions and Challenges” In recent years, researchers increasingly have applied social network analysis to study intergroup relations. Both cross-sectional (ERGM) and longitudinal (SAOM) methods led to similar conclusions; that students’ friendship networks are segregated along ethnic, cultural and religious lines, even net of relative group size effects. However, researchers only have begun to exploit the potential of social network analysis for under- standing the causes and consequences of such ethnic, cultural, and religious segregation. Taking this next step involves theoretical and methodological challenges, both of which we intend to address in this session. Numerous follow-up questions have arisen from earlier research. Do, for example, the preferences of immigrants and natives for interethnic contact differ? And how do actors’ contact preferences de- pend on contextual characteristics? Under what circumstances do youth consider themselves as members of a particular group in the first place? A central theoretical challenge is to tackle these questions systematically, for example by relying on more general theoretical approaches, such as a social boundary making perspective or theories of identity formation. Social network analysis provides the tools to tackle these questions empirically. Studying intergroup relations, however, implies complex model specifications that include interaction effects. Interpret- ing the results of such models almost always requires additional efforts. Most notably, evaluating the respective contrasts of theoretical interest often makes it necessary to calculate and test specific linear combinations of lower- and higher-order effects. This methodological challenge is ignored in much applied research, even though addressing it is crucial to understand network dynamics from the perspective of various groups. In this session, we therefore welcome theoretical, methodological, and empirical contributions to the study of intergroup relations from a network perspective. This includes, but is by no means limited, to work that * - addresses current research puzzles regarding the causes and consequences of ethnic, cultur- al, or religious segregation, or * - examines how respective hypotheses, especially about group differences in network for- mation, can be tested empirically. * Abstract submission: Please submit your abstract via http://www.eusn2017.uni-mainz.de/abstract-submission/. The deadline for submission is March 31.
