Research Round-table: Week 3

This week we have an action packed line up.  Representatives of the Stanford Complexity Group will join us and introduce us to the activities of their group.

Visiting Professor Hiroki Takikawa (Interdisciplinary Studies, Tohoku University) will present a paper in advance of his presentation at Sunbelt 2014 later this February.  The title of his manuscript is Uncovering relational structure of position generated social networks based on the duality of positions and actors.  In this paper he proposes a method to transform an ego-centric network generated by position generator to a whole social status network, enabling to investigate homophily and segregation issues.
