My name is Sophia Guevara, Program Co-Chair for the Social Network Analysis (SNA) TIG. This week, several evaluation professionals have shared with this blog’s readers their thoughts on social network analysis. With posts discussing logic models to examples of the application of social network analysis on a wide-range of evaluation questions, you’ve hopefully gained a better understanding of it.
