Any chance anyone here knows why the #GSS stopped asking the "important matters" #socialnetwork question in 2004?

It has always seemed odd to me that Milroy (1980) is treated as the beginning of the second wave of #sociolinguistics when everything Milroy did was also done by Gal (1979) only better and with much more #ethnographic work. It seems like it's just because Milroy was more centered on #variationist traditions from #monolingual #languagevariation work.

Proud of Denisa Arsene for presenting us and our work at the Complex Networks conference last week. She had a lot of engagement during her presentation, and made a ton of cool new science friends from all over the world 🤓 🌟
Key contribution: SANA (simulated annealing for network anonymisation), an algorithm that makes small alterations to social networks to protect the people in the network from de-anonymization attacks.
Motivation: Facilitating data sharing between social scientists while preserving the privacy of the people who were part of those studies.

War toll beim DGNet Kongress dabei gewesen zu sein - nochmal danke @stegbauer für die nette Einladung
Thoroughly enjoyed myself at the DGNet conference in Bayreuth presenting my work on social and spatial networks

🌍 “What makes #nextGEMS unique is its inclusivity.”
For Dragana Bojovic (BSC), that means more than diversity—it’s about building a space where climate scientists, social scientists, communication experts, early-career researchers, and professors work side-by-side to create knowledge with society, not just for it.
In our new video, “Thriving on collaboration, openness, and the co-creation of knowledge for a better future”, Dragana shares how nextGEMS fostered inclusivity through:
⬛ #Hackathons – from hands-on climate data exploration to society-oriented workshops on themes like the energy transition
⬛ #SocialNetworkAnalysis – studying how collaborations form and evolve during these events
⬛ #Storyline co-creation – bringing ministries, renewable energy reps, and scientists together to design climate-resilient futures
⬛ #ScienceExplainers & #PolicyBriefs – translating research into action
The result? A vibrant, interdisciplinary community that Dragana hopes will thrive well beyond the project’s lifetime.

🚨 New paper alert! 🚨
My wonderful collaborator Julie Zook led on this study of an inpatient unit in a hospital in the US showing how greater levels of visibility in the spatial layout seems to support team communication
WOW!
The ig_degree_betweenness python module has hit 747 downloads just 2 days after its release!

My own #Sunbelt2025 talk will be on Saturday 28th July (10am local time, room 112 - in case you're there 👋🏻) and will discuss space usage processes in buildings as a two-mode network between people and spaces (see the slide alt text for more info)
I'm talking in one of three sessions on Spatial and Geographic Social Networks organised by Clio Andris, Zachary Neal, Paul Schuler and Gil Viry - excited about so many lovely talks with a spatial angle
Excited to be travelling to Paris next week (train obviously) to attend the Sunbelt conference of the International Network of Social Network Analysis
It's my first Sunbelt since 2019 and I'm really looking forward to connecting with people and learning about latest research

It is time to populate my blog Space & Organisation again after many years of little activity (for various reasons).
Here's a summary of a podcast on #SocialNetworkAnalysis #SNA I was invited to by the wonderful @FranciscaOrtiz

Social network metric data fun! Duplicate edges caught me off-guard for a little while when calculating but sorted now, thankfully!

Some social network analysis on Metroidvanias.
Data from https://www.reddit.com/r/metroidvania/comments/1dwqjp0/if_you_had_to_pick_5_of_the_best_metroidvanias/, two games are connected (with a weighted edge) when they appear in the same answer.
We arrange the games on the tiles, aiming to minimize the sum of (distance) * (weight). Hyperbolic geometry tends to be be good for this kind of visualization (closeness correlates to edge weight).
Tehora Rogue has run a community detection algorithm (using Gephi) on this network multiple times. This algorithm would find 4 to 6 communities in different runs, the 4 communities shown are based on aggregation of the results.
(There are "green" and "yellow" communities of sets of five games posted by "trolls" who have posted games not mentioned by anyone else, and the main genre splits into "blue" and "red" -- if you know these games, do you have any idea what the blue/red split could mean?
In the second picture, the red / blue / green components (excluding trolls) are determined by how often the game appeared in the same community as Iconoclasts / Cookie Cutter / Castlevania: Harmony of Despair. These three games were chosen because they frequently belonged to different communities.
