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.
