SGGPCP together with RMIT University facilitated a workshop last week on the theory and practice of Social Network Analysis. Social Network Analysis is based on complex mathematical methodology and the workshop was designed to unpack some of the theory used in SNA as well as some practical applications. Conducted as part of the Enhancing Networks For Resilience (EN4R) Project, workshop participants were able to take time to consider and map their perceptions of the SGGPCP network and review some of the preliminary social network maps developed as part of the EN4R project. The project is developing a short paper outlining the basics of SNA and the applications to disaster resilience (available soon on the SGGPCP website) as well as a comprehensive report which will be completed end August.
