Where can I learn the method of social network analysis (SNA)? Can someone please point a social network analysis short-term course (preferably in Latin America)? Or would someone who works with social network analysis accept to tutor me on the first steps of such methodology?
Hi Joao, I'm starting to deal with SNA in this period too.
What are you interested in doing?
It would be a good idea if we could advance together in this learning phase of such methods, don't you think?
In this case, if you want, we could exchange emails and share our experiences privately...
Cheers,
A.
Sounds great, Andrea! How do I send you my e-mail address privately? (Sorry, I'm new to this Research Gate site).
From messages (the little envelope in the upper bar).
Otherwise, write me directly at andrea[dot]biancini[at]gmail[dot]com.
(of course [dot] is . and [at] is @)

excellent workshops for sna and other social science methods: university of essex summer school:

depending where you are, the u of michigan, ann arbor, has also a method summer school program; since I didn't attend that one, can't tell you more about it but check our their homepage.

Hi! I am interested in learning the method of social network analysis (SNA), too. I live in Venezuela, Do you know some course in SNA on Line?
Aqui tienes para un rato:

Best book I know: Introduction to Social Network Methods by Robert A. Hanneman and Mark Riddle, UC Riverside http://faculty.ucr.edu/~hanneman/nettext/
Courses are run regularly in UCINET (a social network anlaysis program) in a number of countries around the world. You can google these, I found courses running in UK, USA, Australia, etc.
There are also online resources, try http://www.analytictech.com/essex/schedule.htm for a useful start.
There is a work shop run in the US in June http://www.analytictech.com/training.htm.
