Join us for the upcoming Quantitative Social Sciences Seminars (QSSS) event, where we explore the cutting-edge field of social network analysis. We are pleased to welcome Dr. Federico Bianchi from the University of Milan, who will be presenting his latest book, “Reti Sociali. Meccanismi e Modelli.” In this work, Dr. Bianchi delves into the analysis of social networks, a key technique in sociological research. From workplace solidarity to social media exchanges, and from professional collaborations to global financial flows, the study of social networks offers a powerful tool for understanding complex social interactions. The book critically and comparatively presents recent advancements in statistical and computational modeling of social networks, highlighting both their potential and limitations. This presentation promises to offer fresh insights into the mechanisms driving social networks, making it a must-attend for scholars interested in empirical research on social relations. QSSS provides a distinguished platform for scholars to convene, exchange insights, and explore the latest advancements in research, with the aim of cultivating a dynamic academic community in Bologna. We extend a warm invitation to join us for an engaging scholarly dialogue!
