Most of my research involves analysis of networks, intersecting with a variety of substantive areas, including team and small group research (1) (5) (7) (9); interest group networks (8) (10) (17); social influence (2) (15); information governance and policy diffusion (4) (6) (11) (13) (14) (16); and the presidency (12). I am also increasingly intrigued by the potential for using behavioral data on social interactions to study networks (3).
