summary:

How do social and professional networks shape the flow of influence and power in American society? Drawing on recent research completed for the White House Fellows Project, Professor Lindsay will explore the ways that networks benefit and attract elite leaders, create hubs of activity, and constitute important elements in the "circuit" of elite power in American society today. He will discuss his interviews with national leaders and reveal some of the most important findings from the unprecedented survey he conducted with Fellows two weeks before it is released to the American public. Come and learn more about Professor Lindsay's innovative research on networks and power.
