Nain Networks Project
To understand this research project, it is important to understand social network analysis. A social network is a theoretical construct used in the social sciences to study social relationships. Social networks are composed of relationships between people.
The Nain Networks Project is one of the largest ethnographic network research projects ever completed. Be cause of this the full analysis of the data collected in Nain took years to translate. For the purposes of this report, the researcher’s goal was to present the initial results on the 8 primary networks researched: Country Food Assistance, Non-Country Food Assistance, Jobs, Housing, Household Wellness & Domestic Violence, Traditional Inuit Knowledge, Family and Alcohol Co-Use.
Syron Design worked with the grantee on research translation and dissemination. The goal was to achieve “broader impact” by bridging the gap between academic research findings and real-world practical applications.
