Barry Wellman's Vita

August 19, 2006

SUMMARY

Professor Barry Wellman studies networks: community, communication, computer, and social. His research examines virtual community, the virtual workplace, social support, community, kinship, friendship, and social network theory and methods. Based at the University of Toronto, he directs NetLab, teaches at the Department of Sociology, does research at the Centre for Urban and Community Studies, the Knowledge Media Design Institute, and the Bell University Laboratories' Collaborative Effectiveness Lab, and is a cross-appointed member of the Faculty of Information Studies.

Prof. Wellman 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 has been a Fellow of IBM's Institute of Knowledge Management, a consultant with Mitel Networks, a member of Advanced Micro Devices' Global Consumer Advisory Board, a keynoter at conferences ranging from computer science to theology, and a committee member of the Social Science Research Council's (and Ford Foundation's) Program on Information Technology, International Cooperation and Global Security. He is the (co-)author of more than two hundred articles, co-authored with more than eighty scholars, and 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, 2003). Prof. Wellman has published articles about the theory, methods and substance of social network analysis. He created the terms "network city" in 1973, "network of networks" in 1983, "networked individualism" in 2000, and (with Keith Hampton) pioneered the use of "glocalization" in discussing computer mediated communication networks.

Research Focus: Prof. Wellman is currently studying with his NetLab team:

Computer Networks as Social Networks: Much of Prof. Wellman's work has analyzed computer networks as social networks. In the 1990s, Prof. Wellman worked with computer scientists and information scientists at the University of Toronto 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. The project entailed multidisciplinary cooperation between researchers in universities and the private sector. 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 is also preparing two books, Living Wired in a Networked World and Personal Communities: From Little Boxes to Networked Individualism.

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 and reciprocity in ties and networks in an era of "networked individualism". Prof. Wellman is now completing a long-term study of network-based personal communities in Toronto. 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.He is a principal founder of a new sociology journal, City and Community, whose first issue appeared in 2002.

Interdisciplinary Links: Much of Prof. Wellman's research has been collaborative and interdisciplinary, including work with communication scientists, computer scientists, educators, geographers, historians, information scientists, lawyers, 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 is now doing similar work in Japan (with Kakuko Miyata and Ken'ichi Ikeda).

Prof. Wellman's work has been translated into Bulgarian, Catalan, Chinese, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese. He has lectured and held workshops about social network analysis in Argentina, Bulgaria, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Israel, Japan, the Netherlands, Peru, Spain, Taiwan, the United Kingdom, and the USA. He 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 , 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, Science, Social Networks, Sociological Methods and Research, Sociological Theory, Sociological Research Online.

Editorial Posts: Prof. Wellman founded the informal social network analytic journal, Connections, in 1977 and edited/published it for twelve years. He was a principal founder of a new sociology journal, City and Community, whose first issue appeared in March 2002, and he current serves as an Associate Editor. He is the Book Reviews editor of Social Networks, and the North American editor of Information, Communication and Society. He serves on a number of other editorial boards.

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 has been awarded an Outstanding Lifetime Contribution Award by the Canadian Sociological and Anthropological Association (2001). He has also received Outstanding Lifetime Contribution Awards from two sections of the American Sociological Association: Communication and Information Technologies (2004) and Community and Urban Sociology (2006). The Department of Sociology, University of Toronto honored him, April 2001, with a "Barryfest" conference: "Social Structure in a Changing World ?Presentations in Honour of Barry Wellman".

Prof. Wellman's "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; 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 society's 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 Toronto's Dean's Excellence Award. His website is an "Expert's Choice" of the Social Science Information Gateway (UK).

Prof. Wellman is the Chair-Emeritus of the Communication and Information Technologies section of the American Sociological Association. He is one of the few persons to chair two sections, having previously served as Chair of the ASA’s Community and Urban Sociology section. He has also been has been on the Councils of the ASA’s Community section, its Sociology and Computing section, and the Community Research section of the International Sociological Association. In 1994 he was selected as one of the five active Canadian members of the Sociological Research Association (the American honor society). He was named in 2000 to its Executive, and rose inexorably through its Executive ranks to be its Chair, 2004-2005. He has also been selected for the Canadian Who's Who.

Barry Wellman heads the NetLab research network at the University of Toronto. He was the American Sociological Association's first Advisor on Electronic Networking and the first Chair of the ASA's Electronic Publications committee. He is the Advisor of the "Virtual Communities and Environments" Focus Area for the Association for Computing Machinery's Special Interest Group on Supporting Group Processes. He was a founding member of the Association for Computing Machinery's Electronic Community Center committee, and he co-developed the National Geographic Society's Web Survey 2000 on "millennium trends" and Web Survey 2001 investigating "the internet in everyday life". He founded the Structural Analysis Programme at the Department of Sociology and led it, 1979-1983. He is on the Steering Committee of the University of Toronto's Knowledge Media Design Institute (KMDI), and on the editorial board of eleven 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 (London: Taylor and Francis, 2001). She and Dr. Kelner are the co-authors of numerous articles analyzing the uses and professionalization of complementary and alternative medicine. Her life career has included being a modern dancer, a teacher of primary grades and creative movement, and a student of the Alexander and Laban techniques.

Biographical Notes: Prof. Wellman was educated at 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. Barry Wellman was Captain of Lafayette College's undefeated GE College Bowl team in 1962. In April 2003, he and the team returned Lafayette for a forty-ish 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 (What If...). He is the only academic whose picture hangs among the performing artists in Toronto's landmark "Bagel" restaurant.
