Digital Learning Educational Innovation Across Northwestern

In this workshop, you will be introduced to the practice of social network analysis, the process of exploring social structures via constructed networks and graph theory. More specifically, you will learn how to format data for social network analysis, do basic network and nodal analysis, and create network visualizations using R’s igraph package using a directed network.

Prerequisites: Basic familiarity with R and RStudio. Some understanding of the theories of social networks is helpful but not required.
