Yale University has been hit by controversy in the past week after professor Erika Christakis, associate headmaster of the school’s Silliman College, sent an email to the college’s members suggesting that they shouldn’t be overly sensitive about Halloween costumes that engage in “cultural appropriation.” Instead, Christakis encouraged students to tolerate them and avoid trying to censor expression. “Is there no room anymore for a child or young person to be a little bit obnoxious … a little bit inappropriate or provocative or, yes, offensive?” Christakis wrote. “American universities were once a safe space not only for maturation but also for a certain regressive, or even transgressive, experience; increasingly, it seems, they have become places of censure and prohibition.” In response, ...

If You're So Free, Why Do You Follow Others? The Sociological Science Behind Social Networks and Social Influence. Nicholas Christakis, Professor of Medical Sociology, Medicine, and Sociology at Harvard University If you think you're in complete control of your destiny or even your own actions, you're wrong. Every choice you make, every behavior you exhibit, and even every desire you have finds its roots in the social universe. Nicholas Christakis explains why individual actions are inextricably linked to sociological pressures; whether you're absorbing altruism performed by someone you'll never meet or deciding to jump off the Golden Gate Bridge, collective phenomena affect every aspect of your life. By the end of the lecture Christakis has revealed a startling new way to understand the...

Opening Remarks Master Nicholas Christakis
College students should tackle prejudice through dialogue, debate, and direct action, not appeal to administrators to fight those battles for them.

Humans are embedded in social networks that affect every aspect of our lives. The Christakis lab applies network science and statistical and mathematical models to a variety of observational and experimental datasets to understand the structure and function of human networks. What social, biological, and mathematical principles help determine how and why human social networks form and how they operate? One stream of work focuses on the spreading dynamics of health-related phenomena (obesity, smoking, emotions, altruism) in longitudinally evolving networks ("contagion"). Another stream of work examines the genetic, social, and psychological processes that determine social network structure ("connection"). These investigations have meaningful implications for public policy and publi...

Sociólogo Nicholas Christakis explica como as redes sociais vão além da internet Jorge Pontual foi à Universidade de Yale e entrevistou o sociólogo Nicholas Christakis, que há anos estuda o fenômeno das redes, sua importância na história da humanidade e as implicações para nossa vida cotidiana hoje. Christakis mostra como o que cada um faz pode ter desdobramentos que atingem pessoas num universo bem mais amplo do que o das relações pessoais. . LaurenGore1005
Professor Nicholas Christakis of Yale University spoke to an audience at Cass about his research into social networks as part of the Dean's Lecture series. Specifically he tracked how a wide variety of traits – from happiness to obesity – can spread from person to person. For example, through his work on obesity, Professor Christakis demonstrated that: “If your friends are obese, your risk of obesity is 45% higher… if your friend’s friends are obese, your risk of obesity is 25% higher. It’s only when you get to your friend’s friend’s friend’s friends that there’s no longer a relationship between that person’s body size and your own body size.” His research is currently being applied to: • Facilitate the diffusion of public health practices in the developing world. Evidence suggests i...
