*Sunbelt 2024 - INSNA Sunbelt Social Networks Conference*

Conference Website: https://sunbelt2024.com/


*Call for Submissions – Negative Ties and Signed Graphs*

This organized session focuses on the co-existence of positive and negative
ties in networks across different domains and the need to study positive
and negative ties together in order to better understand network dynamics,
as well as processes and outcomes within these networks. We encourage a
wide range of submissions.

We invite anyone with an interest in the topic to submit their work to an
organized session of the Sunbelt 2024 conference, which is taking place in
Edinburgh, Scotland from *June 24-30th, 2024* and *online on June 25th*.

Please submit your work for this conference within the submission window
(Deadline: February 4, 2024) using the organized session labeled:

*“Negative Ties and Signed Graphs”*

social, economic, political, biological, financial, informational, or
physical contexts); modeling and analysis of negative ties; understanding
how structural balance affects volatility in financial markets; explaining
the inner workings of political and legal bodies such as legislatures or
courts; understanding how threats within a network create needs for allies,
particularly in international relations; exploring how difficult ties
affect health outcomes; examining where bullying emerges in schools or
organizations; exploring how positive and negative emotion are structured
within our cognitive semantic networks; how perceptions of negative ties
poses unique challenges in organizational research; examining how
relational ambivalence affects relational trajectories; and how subgroup
fault lines affect intra- and inter-group conflict.

We look forward to your participation!
