摘要：Taking the programmatic statement of social embeddedness and producing
award winning research with network analysis and methods,
Brian Uzzi¡¯s work explores a wide range of social phenomena. His
research has examined, for example, how social networks and structures
influence the garment industry (American Sociological Review),
Broadway productions (American Journal of Sociology),
financial markets (American Sociological Review) and scientific
teamwork and collaboration (Science). In a recent interview,
Nathan Martin asks Brian about how social networks have influenced
his own research, tips for communicating sociological ideas to
wider audiences, and the growing prominence of teams in scientific
research. As becomes clear, the influence of social networks is hard to
escape. Below are excerpts from their conversation.
