LORIEN JASNY
Professor Lorien Jasny's research centers on two related themes – the structure and dynamics of inter-organizational networks, and the structure and dynamics of belief networks. Substantively, she is interested in how people try to bring about societal change in response to environmental concerns. Methodologically, the need to grapple with these often complex phenomena requires the use and development of techniques for handling dynamic and relational data. Her training in network analysis, simulation and statistical modeling techniques, is a key tool for responding to the challenge of studying complex social systems. She is a lecturer in the department of politics at the University of Exeter.
