DEMOGRAPHICSBorn: 1942 Married Beverly Wellman 1965 Canadian and American

SUMMARYBarry Wellman studies networks: community, communication, computer, and social. His research examines social support, virtual community, the virtual workplace, community, kinship, friendship, and social network theory and methods. Based at the University of Toronto, he directs the NetLab and is the S.D. Clark Professor at the Department of Sociology, is a member of the Cities Centre, and the Knowledge Media Design Institute, and is a cross-appointed member of the Faculty of Information. He is the co-author of the prize-winning Networked: The New Social Operating System (with Lee Rainie, Director of the Pew Internet and American Life Project), published by MIT Press in Spring 2012. The book analyzes the social nature of networked individualism, growing out of the Social Network Revolution, the Internet Revolution, and the Mobile Revolution.Prof. Wellman is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada. He is the Chair-Emeritus of both the Community and Information Technologies section and the Community and Urban Sociology section of the American Sociological Association. He is a Fellow of IBM Toronto's Centre for Advanced Studies. Prof. Wellman has been a Fellow of IBMs Institute of Knowledge Management, a consultant with Mitel Networks, a member of Advanced Micro Devices' Global Consumer Advisory Board, and Intels People and Practices research unit. He has been a keynoter at conferences ranging from computer science to theology, and a committee member of the Social Science Research Councils (and Ford Foundations) Program on Information Technology, International Cooperation and Global Security. He is the author of more than 200 articlesmany of which have been co-authored with more than 80 scholarsand he is the (co-)editor of three books.Social Network Analysis: Prof. Wellman's intellectual approach is social network analysis. He founded the professional society in the field: the International Network for Social Network Analysis. His co-edited Social Structures: A Network Approach has been named by the International Sociological Association as one of the Books of the Century (Cambridge University Press, 1988; updated ed., JAI Press, 1997; reprinted, Canadian Scholars Press International, 2002). Prof. Wellman has published articles about the theory, methods and substance of social network analysis. He coined the terms network city in 1973, network of networks in 1983, networked individualism in 2000, and (with Keith Hampton) pioneered the use of the term glocalization in discussing computer mediated communication networks.Research Focus: Prof. Wellman is currently studying with the NetLab team: The Connected Lives and Networked Individuals studiesthe third and fourth studies of the Toronto borough of East York: the interplay between social networks, community and Internet use. The paradigm shift from group-centered relations to networked individualism. The NAVEL study of how a loosely-coupled networked scholarly organization discover, access and manage knowledge, on and offline. Sociologically-informed design principles for ad hoc networking systems in which people work and find community with shifting sets of others. The glocalization (globalization + localization) that comes with wired living via advanced connections to the Internet and other online services. International comparisons of information and communication technologies, with special emphases on Japan, United States and Canada.

Computer Networks as Social Networks: Much of Prof. Wellmans work analyzes computer networks as social networks. In the 1990s, Prof. Wellman worked with computer scientists and information scientists at the University of Toronto and the private sector to design, development and evaluate the Cavecat/Telepresence system for computer supported cooperative work. This combination of personal video and collaborative computing enabled people to communicate, work and commune over large distances. With Caroline Haythornthwaite, he edited a special issue of the American Behavioral Scientist, The Internet in Everyday Life (Nov, 2001), which was substantially revised and expanded into a book of the same name (Oxford: Blackwell, 2002). He also was the Technology and Community editor of the Encyclopedia of Community (Sage, 2003).Communities as Social Networks: Since the late 1960s, Prof. Wellman has developed the study of communities as social networks: demonstrating that communities are no longer limited to neighborhoods. He has been studying the ways in which people use these ties to gain resources, and the implications of these networks for large-scale social organization. His current research in this area focuses on multilevel analyses of support, reciprocity in personal community networks in an era of networked individualism. In 1999, he published Networks in the Global Village (Westview Press), an edited volume of original analyses of personal communities around the world, each written by a resident of the country being discussed. Interdisciplinary Links: Much of Prof. Wellmans research has been collaborative and interdisciplinary, including work with archivists, communication scientists, computer scientists, educators, geographers, historians, information scientists, journalists, lawyers, librarians, psychiatrists, psychologists, statisticians, and theologians. International Links: Prof. Wellman founded and headed the International Network for Social Network Analysis in 1976. He collaborated on a study of the Internet in Catalonia (with Manuel Castells and Isabel Diaz de Isla) and with Kakuko Miyata, Kenichi Ikeda and Jeffrey Boase in Japan. Prof. Wellmans work has been translated into Bulgarian, Catalan, Chinese, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, and Portuguese. He is a Fellow of the Centre for Public Administration and Policies, Institute of Social and Political Sciences, Technical University of Lisbon, and is a member of the International Scholarly Advisory Committee of the Institute for Empirical Social Science, Xian Jiaotong University, China. He has lectured and held workshops about social network analysis in Bulgaria, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Hungary, India, Israel, Japan, the Netherlands, Peru, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, Taiwan, the United Kingdom, and the USA. His work has been linked to research and development at AMD, Bell Canada, IBM, Mitel Networks and Nokia. He has keynoted in North and South America, Europe and Asia.Editorial Posts: Prof. Wellman founded the informal social network analytic journal, Connections, in 1977 and edited/published it for twelve years. He was the principal founder of a new sociology journal, City and Community, whose first issue appeared in March 2002, and served as an Associate Editor through 2005. He has been the Book Essay co-editor of Social Networks, and is the North American editor of Information, Communication and Society. He serves on a number of other editorial boards.Prof. Wellman has published in a wide array of books and journals, including: American Behavioral Scientist, American Journal of Sociology, Annual Review of Sociology, Bulletin de Methode Sociologique, Canadian Review of Sociology and Anthropology, Communication Yearbook, Communications of the Association for Computing Machinery, Cultural Anthropology Methods Bulletin, Current Sociology, the Encyclopedia of Psychology, the Encyclopedia of Mental Health, History of the Family, International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, Journal of Computer Mediated Communication, Journal of the American Society for Information Science, Journal of Social and Personal Relationships, Journal of Interdisciplinary History, Marriage and Family Review, Roundel [BMW Car Club], Science, Social Networks, Sociological Methods and Research, Sociological Theory, Sociological Research Online.Teaching: Prof. Wellman teaches graduate and undergraduate courses in Urban Sociology, Community, Social Network Analysis, Information and Communication Technology and Society, and Research Methods. Prof. Wellman received the International Network for Personal Relationships Mentoring Award in 1998. He was the second place winner of the International Society for Personal Relationships' Outstanding Teaching Award (1996). At the University of Toronto, the Department of Sociology has named its undergraduate research prize after him (the Barry Wellman Prize). Honors: Prof. Wellman was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada in 2007. In 2006, the Department of Sociology at the University of Toronto awarded the S.D. Clark Endowed Chair to him. The Department had previously honoured him (in April 2001) with the Barryfest conference: Social Structure in a Changing World Presentations in Honour of Barry Wellman.Prof. Wellman received the Canadian Digital Media Pioneer Award in 2014. In 2008, the International Communication Association gave him its initial Open Field Award for work that has been very influential in media and communication researchfrom outside the discipline of communications.He received an Outstanding Career Contribution Award by the Canadian Sociological and Anthropological Association (2001). He has received Outstanding Career Contribution Awards from two sections of the American Sociological Association: Communication and Information Technologies (2004) and Community and Urban Sociology (2006). In May 2008, his networked individualism work was included in the national English-language entrance exam for Chinese universities.Prof. Wellmans The Community Question article (American Journal of Sociology, 1979) about networked communities was selected as one of the seven most significant English-Canadian sociology articles of the 20th century by the Canadian Journal of Sociology (Summer 2001). His co-edited Social Structures book was cited as one of the hundred most significant sociological books by the International Sociology Association. It presents a score of original articles exemplifying social network analysis (Cambridge University Press, 1988; JAI-Elsevier, 1997). Four of his articles, representing the range of his work, have been anthologized in Social Networks: Critical Concepts in Sociology, edited by John Scott: "Structural Analysis: From Method and Metaphor ...", "The Community Question," "The Place of Kinfolk ..." and "Net Surfers Don't Ride Alone." Prof. Wellman has been a Fellow of the Bellagio Center (Rockefeller Foundation), the Netherlands Institute for Advanced Studies, and the Halbert Foundation (Hebrew University). In 1999 he was a Visiting Professor at the School of Information Management and Systems, University of California, Berkeley. He was the Distinguished Keynote Speaker of the International Network for Social Network Analysis in 1994, that societys highest honor. He was second prize winner of the International Society for Personal Relationships' Outstanding Teaching Award (1996), a finalist for its Outstanding Publication award, and a multiple winner of the University of Torontos Dean's Excellence Award. Prof. Wellmans website has been an "Expert's Choice" of the Social Science Information Gateway (UK). He was awarded a Society Barnstar and a Diligence Barnstar in 2007 for his work on Wikipedia, and his Geekus Unixus paper was nominated in 2007 for the IgNobel Award in Writing. In 2010, Prof. Cliff Lampe reported, In studying social network sites, every time I think Ive thought of something new, it turns out that Barry Wellman wrote about it ten years ago [keynote address to the WikSym conference, Gdansk Poland]. In March 2012, Wellman was identified by the Toronto Globe and Mail as having the highest h-index (of citations) of all Canadian sociologists.Leadership: Barry Wellman co-directs the NetLab research network at the University of Toronto. He founded the International Network for Social Network Analysis in 1976, heading this interdisciplinary body until 1988. Prof. Wellman is the Chair-Emeritus of the Communication and Information Technologies and the Community and Urban Sociology sections of the American Sociological Association. He is one of the few persons to have chaired two sections. He has also been has been on the Council of the ASAs Community section, and its Sociology and Computing section, as well as the Community Research section of the International Sociological Association. Prof. Wellman was elected to the Executive Committee of the interdisciplinary Association of Internet Researchers in October 2001. Prof. Wellman was selected in 1994 as one of the five active Canadian members of the Sociological Research Association (the American honor society), was named to its Executive in 2000, and rose inexorably through the Executive ranks to be the Associations Chair, 2004-2005. He has also been selected for the Canadian Whos Who. Prof. Wellman was the American Sociological Association's first Advisor on Electronic Networking and the first Chair of the ASAs Electronic Publications committee. He was the Advisor of the Virtual Communities and Environments Focus Area for the Association for Computing Machinerys Special Interest Group on Supporting Group Processes, and a founding member of the ACMs Electronic Community Center committee. Wellman was a developer of the National Geographic Societys Web Survey 2000 on millennium trends and Web Survey 2001 investigating the internet in everyday life. He founded the Structural Analysis Program at the Department of Sociology and led it, 1979-1983, was a member of the Steering Committee of the University of Torontos Knowledge Media Design Institute (KMDI), and is on the editorial board of 11 journals.Conjugal Connection: Barry has been married with Beverly Wellman since 1965. A medical sociologist, Beverly Wellman is the co-editor (with Merrijoy Kelner) of Complementary and Alternative Medicine: Challenge and Change (Reading, UK: Taylor & Francis, 2001). Kelner and Wellman are the co-authors of numerous articles analyzing the uses and professionalization of complementary and alternative medicine. Beverly Wellmans career has included being a modern dancer, a teacher of primary grades and creative movement, the co-book essay editor of Social Networks, and a student and practitioner of the Alexander and Laban techniques.Biographical Notes: Prof. Wellman was educated on the streets of New York City, and at P.S. 33, Creston JHS 79, the Bronx High School of Science (Honors, 1959), Lafayette College (Honors B.A. in History, 1963), and Harvard University (M.A. in Social Relations, 1965; Ph.D. in Sociology, 1969). His doctoral thesis examined how race, class, and school segregation affect adolescent identity and cosmopolitanism in Pittsburgh at the time of the civil rights movement. Barry Wellman was Captain of Lafayette Colleges undefeated GE College Bowl team in 1962. In April 2003, he and the team returned Lafayette for a fortieth anniversary reunion where they lectured about their work and defeated current undergraduates in a College Bowl game, 320-150. Barry Wellman has appeared in other television and radio shows, and was featured in a feature-length documentary movie (What If...) about the late science-fiction writer (and friend) Judith Merril. He was the only academic whose picture hung among the performing artists in Torontos historic Bagel restaurant, until the restaurants demise in 2004.

Barry Wellman, FRSC (b. 1942) directs NetLab as the S.D. Clark Professor of Sociology at the University of Toronto. His areas of research are community sociology, the Internet, human-computer interaction and social structure, as manifested in social networks in communities and organizations. His overarching interest is in the paradigm shift from group-centered relations to networked individualism

Early Life

Wellman was born, bar mitzvahed and raised in the Grand Concourse and Fordham Road area of the Bronx, New York City. He attended P.S. 33 and Creston J.H.S. 79, and was a member of the Fordham Flames. He gained his high school degree from the Bronx High School of Science in 1959. He received his A.B. (Bachelor's) degree magna cum laude from Lafayette College in 1963, majoring in social history and winning prizes in both history and religious studies. At Lafayette, he was a member of the McKelvy Honors House and captained the undefeated 1962 College Bowl team), whose final victory was over Berkeley. [1]

His graduate work was at Harvard University, where he trained with Chad Gordon, Charles Tilly and Harrison White, and also studied with Roger Brown, George Homans, Alex Inkeles, Florence Kluckhohn, Talcott Parsons and Phillip J. Stone. He received M.A. in Social Relations in 1965 and a Ph.D. in Sociology in 1969. His focus was on community, computer applications, social networks and self-conception, and his dissertation showed that the social identities of African-American and White American Pittsburgh junior high school students were related to the extent of segregation of their schools.

Barry Wellman has been married since 1965 with Beverly Wellman, a leading researcher in complementary and alternative medicine.

Community Sociology

Wellman has been a faculty member at the University of Toronto since 1967. Until 1990, he focused on community sociology and social network analysis. During his first three years in Toronto, he also held a joint appointment with the Clarke Institute of Psychiatry. His first project at the Clarke, working with D.B. Coates was co-directing the "Yorklea Study" in the Toronto borough of East York. This first East York study, with data collected in 1968, attempted (unsuccessfully) to do a field study of a large population, linking interpersonal relations with psychiatric symptoms. However, the study was notable for pioneering the study of "social support", documenting the prevalence of non-local friendship and kinship ties, demonstrating that community is no longer confined to neighborhood and studying non-local communities as social networks. Wellman's "Community Question" paper, reporting on this study, has been selected as one of the seven most important articles in English-Canadian sociology. [2]

A second East York study, conducted in 1978-1979 at the University of Toronto's Centre for Urban and Community Studies, used in-depth interviews with 33 East Yorkers (originally surveyed in the first study) to find out much more information about their social networks. It was probably the first study to provide evidence about which kinds of ties and networks provide which types of social support. It showed, for example, that sisters provide siblings with much emotional support, while parents provide financial aid.[3] The support seems to come more from the characteristics of the ties than from the networks in which they are embedded.[4] This research also demonstrated that wives maintain social networks for their husbands as well as for themselves. [5]

Although Wellman's work has shifted primarily to studies of the Internet (see section below), he has continued collaborative analyses of the first and second East York studies, showing that reciprocity (like social support) is much more of a tie phenomenon than a social network phenomenon[6] and that the frequency and supportiveness of interpersonal contact before the Internet was non-linearly affected by residential (and workplace) distance.[7] He has also edited Networks in the Global Village (1999), a book of original articles about personal networks around the world.

Social Network Theory

Concomitant with his empirical work, Wellman has contributed to the theory of social network analysis. The most comprehensive statement is in his introductory article to Social Structures, co-edited with the late S.D. Berkowitz. This work reviews the history of social network thought, and suggests a number of basic principles of social network analysis.[8]

More recent and more focused theoretical work has discussed the "glocalization" of contemporary communities (simultaneously "global" and "local")[9] and the rise of "networked individualism" -- the transformation from group-based networks to individualized networks.[10]

Social Network Methods

Wellman's methodological contributions have been for the analysis of ego-centered or "personal" networks -- defined from the standpoint of an individual (usually a person). As batches of personal networks are often studied, this calls for somewhat different techniques than the more common social network practice of analyzing a single large network.

A 2007 paper, co-authored by Wellman (with Bernie Hogan and Juan-Antonio Carrasco), has discussed alternatives in gathering personal network data.[11] A paper with Kenneth Frank showed how to tackle the problem of simultaneously analyzing personal network data on the two distinct levels of ties and networks.[12] The most widely cited papers are the simplest: Co-authored guides to analyzing personal network data while using the statistical software packages SAS and SPSS.[13] Other work by Wellman with Howard D. White and associates has examined how to link social network analysis with the scientometric study of citation networks. This research has shown that scholarly friends do not necessarily cite each other, but that scholars cited in the same article are apt to seek each other out and become friends.[14]

Internet, Technology and Society

Barry Wellman has often worked in collaboration with computer scientists, communication scientists and information scientists. In 1990, he became involved in studying how ordinary people use the Internet and other communication technologies to communicate and exchange information at work, at home and in the community. Thus his work has expanded his interest in non-local communities and social networks to encompass the Internet, mobile phones and other information and communication technologies.

Work Networks and ICTs

Wellman's initial project ("Cavecat" which morphed into "Telepresence") was in collaboration with Ronald Baecker, Caroline Haythornthwaite, Marilyn Mantei, Gale Moore, and Janet Salaff. This was a pioneering effort in the early 1990s, before the advent of the Internet, to use networked PCs for videoconferencing and computer supported collaborative work (CSCW).[15] Caroline Haythornthwaite (for her dissertation, etc.) and Wellman analyzed why computer scientists connect with each other -- online and offline. They discovered that friendships as well as collaborative work were prime movers of connectivity at work.[16].

Wellman and Anabel Quan-Haase also wondered if such computer-supported work teams were supporting networked organizations, in which bureaucratic structure and physical proximity did not matter. Their research in one high-tech American organization -- heavily dependent on instant messaging and e-mail showed that the supposed ICT-driven transformation of work to networked organizations was only partially fulfilled in practice. The organizational constraints o of departmental organization (including power) and physical proximity continued to play important roles. There were strong norms in the organization for when different communication media were used, with face-to-face contact intertwined with online contact. [17]

Community Networks and ICTs

As a community sociologist, Wellman began arguing that too much analysis of life online was happening in isolation from other aspects of everyday life. He published several papers (alone and with associates) arguing the need to contextualize Internet research, and proposing that online relations -- like off-line -- would be best studied as ramified social networks rather than as bounded groups.[18]. This argument culminated in a 2002 book, The Internet in Everyday Life (co-edited with Caroline Haythornthwaite), providing exemplification from studies in a number of social milieus.

Prof. Wellman also led some of the empirical work in this area. He was part of a team (led by James Witte) that surveyed visitors to the National Geographic Society's website in 1998. Wellman's unit used these data to counter the dystopian argument that Internet involvement was associated with social isolation.[19] Some critics wondered if the non-random nature of the National Geographic web survey had distorted the results. However, the large U.S. national survey analyzed in the Pew Internet report, "The Strength of Weak Ties" (with Jeffrey Boase, John Hannigan and Lee Rainie) also showed a positive association between communication online and communication by telephone and face-to-face. The study showed that email is well-suited for maintaining regular contact with large networks, and especially with relationships that are only somewhat strong. The study also found that Internet users get more help than non-users from friends and relatives. [20]

Research into the "glocalization" concept also fed into this intellectual stream. Keith Hampton and Wellman studied the Toronto suburb of "Netville "a pseudonym". It showed the interplay between online and offline activity, and how the Internet -- aided by a list-serve -- is not just a means of long-distance communication but enhances neighboring and civic involvement. [21]

Wellman's current work continues to focus on the interplay between information and communication technologies, especially the Internet, social relations and social structure. For example, he is collaborating on Wenhong Chen's study of transnational immigrant entrepreneurs who link China and North America.[22]

Wellman's major current focus is as the head of the Connected Lives project studying the interplay between communication, community and domestic relationships in Toronto and in Chapleau in rural northern Ontario. Early findings of the interplay between online and offline life are summarized in "Connected Lives: The Project".[23] More focused research (with Jennifer Kayahara) has shown how the onetime two-step flow of communication has become more recursively multi-step as the result of the Internet's facilitation of information seeking and communication.[24]. Recent research (with Tracy Kennedy) has argued that many households, like communities, have changed from local groups to become spatially- dispersed networks connected by frequent ICT and mobile phone communication.[25] Other NetLab researchers, besides those noted in the text and the notes, include Prof. Dean Behrens , and doctoral students Paul Glavin and Jing Shen.

Teaching and Mentoring

Wellman is known for his interactive style of teaching and extensive mentoring of graduate and undergraduate students in courses about community, social network analysis, and technology and society. He has co-authored with more than 80 persons, almost all of whom were his students. He received the International Network for Personal Relationships' "Mentoring Award" in 1998.
