Il est minuit, vous rentrez chez vous en taxi et vous voilà en train de raconter vos plus sombres secrets au chauffeur, indifférent à ce que votre interlocuteur pourrait bien penser de vous. Ainsi, nous serions 50% à préférer nous confier à un étranger plutôt qu'à un proche. C'est ce qu'explique une étude réalisée par le sociologue américain Mario Luis Small. Quand Sasha trouve le courage de se raconter à sa famille, elle n'attend qu'une chose: du soutien et de la compassion. Ce qu'elle ne sait pas, c'est que son secret n'en est pas un. Et quand les gens connaissent depuis longtemps ce que l'on pense leur apprendre, ils ont déjà eu tout le temps de réagir. L'histoire de Sasha a été recueillie au micro de Camille Jourdan. Attention: cet épisode aborde des sujets sensibles, précisés à la fin de ce texte. Il a été produit et réalisé par Slate.fr.

In this special Best Of Shared Space Season 2! We talk with architects, psychologist, designers, activists, writers, urban planners – a host of amazing community changemakers on season two and we weave all of those together for you all. We start with a basic understanding of what is loneliness, social health, and social capital and why is it so important? Then we dive into office spaces, public places, housing, and more – exploring examples from across the globe as to what types of design strategies and approaches foster health, happiness, social connection and combat loneliness. Interviews Dr. Mario Luis Small, sociologist, endowed professor at Harvard University, and Panama native - shares his studies on social networks, and starts by defining a key component of our social health – social capital, and why it is critical for so many of the other social determinants we think of from transportation, education and habit formation. Nigel Oseland, author and environmental psychologist – shares findings from his recent book Beyond The Workplace Zoo: Humanizing the Office. He specializes in workplace design for human connection, and I was honored to be his first interview for his new book.

Mitchell Reardon, urban planner with Happy Cities – talks about what it means to create truly accessible spaces for everyone, where everyone feels welcome.

Katie Swenson, design activist and author of MASS Design Group just published two books – Design with Love: At Home in America about her time with Enterprise Communities, and In Bohemia about her personal journey. She discussed how architecture needs to rethink and evaluate the success of spaces and the importance of dignity in design as a fundamental need.

June Grant, Okland based activist and architect shares her experiences working with AARP – the largest non-profit dedicated to older adults to create a guidebook for Accessory Dwelling Units – as a method for maintaining community fabric and fostering social connection in communities. Andrew Howard, urban planner with Team Better Block and WGI talks about what is really important about not only the product but the process of community design. Judy Sullivan and Meg Moschetto from the Cochrane Heights Neighborhood Association in Dallas, Texas share their perspective of citizen activists that transformed a rundown empty space into a vibrant public community space. They share what it took to get it done and what it changed for their neighborhood community. ...

Research methods inform how knowledge is gained. The methods a researcher uses are often at the core of how they think about the world. Increasingly, some researchers have tried mixing methods. But this approach to research, though often beneficial, can also be challenging. PRIO research professor Jørgen Carling shares what he has learned about using mixed methods, and why it works so well for him.Links:Jørgen has made an overview of mixed methods examples in his own work, which you can find here: https://jorgencarling.org/2021/08/12/how-ive-used-mixed-methods-or-not-over-20-years-of-doing-migration-research/Mario Luis Small's overview of recent trends can be accessed here: https://www.annualreviews.org/doi/abs/10.1146/annurev.soc.012809.102657The article on gender and romantic adolescent relationships that uses mixed methods, can be found here: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/000312240607100205

Dr. Mario Luis Small grew up in Panama City, the son of an architect in a tight knit community of other families. He learned first-hand the way that spaces and social connections shape well-being and community. In this episode of Shared Space, I talk with Mario, Grafstein Family Professor in the Department of Sociology at Harvard University, about how his early experiences shaped his future work and his discovery around the importance of social capital, trust and social ties in strengthening communities across the globe, and specifically the nature of architecture and urban design to shape connection. Dr. Small has published award-winning articles, edited volumes, and books on topics such as social relationships, urban poverty, and the relationship between qualitative and quantitative methods. He has amazing books, from Villa Victoria to Unanticipated Gains, to his latest book, Someone To Talk To: How Networks Matter in Practice. In this episode, we discuss...

How often do you find yourself sharing intimate details with seemingly perfect strangers?  Someone to Talk To by Mario Luis Small asks who we trust with our most personal information.  Three reasons we may talk to strangers over those closest to us:  1.  Closest relationships can be most complex 2.  Seeking shared experience 3.  We need to talk - now.     Why trusting strangers feels comfortable when we may need to wait: 1.  Shared physical space 2. Get lost in sharing stories 3. Similarities feels like connection.   Episode quotes and links: “Sometimes the best conversations between strangers allow the stranger to remain a stranger.” ~Malcolm Gladwell “We can only expect real sympathy from real friends, not from mere acquaintances.” ~Adam Smith “We rely on “strong” ties (our inner circle) for support and weak ties (our acquaintances) for information.” Mark Granovetter “Friendship is the rainbow between two hearts, sharing seven colors, feeling love, sadness, happiness, truth, faith secrets, and respect.” ~unknown   @NicoleHagman_Writes on Instagram   https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/cutting-edge-leadership/201505/3-reasons-we-tell-strangers-more-we-should https://www.aol.com/news/harvard-sociologist-explains-why-confide-142101118.html

Mario Luis Small of Harvard University talks about social networks and social capital and about some of his work looking at those things in the context of programs like Head Start.

En el tercer episodio de Sociología con Acento conversamos con Mario Luis Small sobre el inicio de su pasión por la sociología, sus primeras lecturas e investigaciones, las dificultades de ser estudiante de doctorado, y sobre su libro Someone to Talk To, que analiza a quién recurren las personas para hablar de problemas personales. Mario nació en Panamá, y trabaja hoy en la Universidad de Harvard, Estados Unidos.

Who do people turn to when they want to talk about serious issues in their life? Do they end up confiding in people they list as confidants? In his new book, Someone to Talk To (Oxford University Press, 2017), Mario Luis Small uses in-depth interviews with first-year graduate students to uncover how intimate conversations are executed in real time. This book is interesting in the way that the interviews unfold; readers will find themselves nodding in agreement and thinking about social networks in new ways. A common theme throughout the book is how our behavior differs from what we may answer on a survey and under what circumstances it does so. For instance, weak ties, not strong ties, are relied upon more often than previous research would suggest. At the end of the book Small turns to empirical and theoretical generalizability finding many examples and surveys of non-graduates students echoing his study. In an era of big data Small encourages us to not lose sight of the human behavior we are studying and the stories behind the data. This book is rich with ideas and stories but would be easily digested by many different types of readers. Sociologists, and particularly those studying social networks, will find the book useful. Graduate students, advisers, and graduate program chairs will find the insights in the book invaluable. This book is a clear fit for a Social Networks class, but would even work as an example in a methods or theory class. Sarah E. Patterson is a postdoc at the University of Western Ontario.
