Circles of Influence: Social Network Analysis for Community-Engaged Evaluation Research

This webinar introduces the fundamentals of social network analysis within the context of community-engaged evaluation research.

The presenter, Bernard Coles, will share several case studies to illustrate how we use networks in impact reporting and evaluation research.
