I am pleased to announce the addition of David Gibson to the blog. David is a former colleague of mine here at Harvard, and is now at Penn. David's work is squarely in the mission of this blog, focused around networks and computational modeling. In particular, he has done some wonderful work on conversational patterns in groups. His work represents part of what I see as the leading edge of a paradigm shift within the study of social networks, from the snapshot of an apparently slow moving social structure to a temporally fine grained interactionist perspective on human relations.
Some examples of his work:
"Taking Turns and Talking Ties: Network Structure and Conversational Sequences." American Journal of Sociology, 110:6 (2005): 1561-97.
"Concurrency and Commitment: Network Scheduling and its Consequences for Diffusion." Journal of Mathematical Sociology, 29:4 (2005): 295-323.
"Opportunistic Interruptions: Interactional Vulnerabilities Deriving from Linearization." Social Psychology Quarterly, 68:4 (2005) 316-37.
