How can experiments advance social network research? What kinds of network questions can be studied experimentally, and what are the practical and methodological challenges of doing so?
This PDW brings together a distinguished group of scholars to examine how experimental methods can advance social network research. The workshop features research showcases, panel discussions, and small-group roundtables (for pre-registered participants).
The session spans a wide range of approaches-ranging from laboratory experiments and large-scale online studies to field interventions-with perspectives from sociology, organizational behavior, and strategy. Attendees will receive guidance on designing experimental network studies, navigating the editorial process, and turning rigorous experiments into strong theoretical contributions. Roundtable participants will have the opportunity to discuss their own projects with experienced network scholars and other participants.
Panelists & Presenters include:
- Adam M. Kleinbaum (Dartmouth)
- Jill Perry-Smith (Emory)
- Martin Kilduff (UCL School of Management)
