 SUMMARY
Professor Barry Wellman studies networks: community, communication, computer, and social. His
research examines social support, virtual community, the virtual workplace, community, kinship,
friendship, and social network theory and methods. Based at the University of Toronto, he directs the
NetLab, is the S.D. Clark Professor at the Department of Sociology, does research at the Centre for
Urban and Community Studies, the Knowledge Media Design Institute, and the Bell University
Laboratories’ Collaborative Environment Lab, and is a cross-appointed member of the Faculty of
Information Studies.
Prof. Wellman is member of the Royal Society of Canada. He is the Chair-Emeritus of both the
Community and Information Technologies section and the Community and Urban Sociology section of
the American Sociological Association. He is affiliated with Intel Corporation's People and Practices
research unit and is a Fellow of IBM Toronto's Centre for Advanced Studies. Prof. Wellman has been a
Fellow of IBM’s Institute of Knowledge Management, a consultant with Mitel Networks, a member of
Advanced Micro Devices' Global Consumer Advisory Board, a keynoter at conferences ranging from
computer science to theology, and a committee member of the Social Science Research Council’s (and
Ford Foundation’s) Program on Information Technology, International Cooperation and Global
Security. He is the (co-)author of about 300 articles that have been co-authored with more than eighty
scholars, and he is the (co-)editor of three books.
Social Network Analysis: Prof. Wellman's intellectual approach is social network analysis. He
founded the professional society in the field: the International Network for Social Network Analysis. His
co-edited Social Structures: A Network Approach has been named by the International Sociological
Association as one of the “Books of the Century” (Cambridge University Press, 1988; updated ed., JAI
Press, 1997; reprinted, Canadian Scholars Press International, 2002). Prof. Wellman has published
articles about the theory, methods and substance of social network analysis. He coined the terms
“network city” in 1973, “network of networks” in 1983, “networked individualism” in 2000, and (with
Keith Hampton) pioneered the use of the term “glocalization” in discussing computer mediated
communication networks.
Research Focus: Prof. Wellman is currently studying with his NetLab team:
$ The Connected Lives study – the third study of the Toronto borough of East York: the interplay
between social networks, community and Internet use.
$ Connected Lives North: social networks and Internet use in the rural northern Ontario town of
Chapleau.
$ Multiple large U.S. surveys with the Pew Internet and American Life project for detailed analyses of
how people use computers in their everyday lives: at home, in the community, and at work.
$ How ethnically Chinese entrepreneurs use the Internet and other means of communication and
transportation to link Canada and China.
$ The paradigm shift from group-centered relations to networked individualism.
$ How loosely-coupled networked organizations discover, access and manage knowledge, on and
offline.
$ Sociologically-informed design principles for ad hoc networking systems in which people work and
find community with shifting sets of others.
$ The “glocalization” (globalization + localization) that comes with wired living via advanced
connections to the Internet and other online services.

3
$ Using Statistics Canada and World Internet Project surveys of how the Internet affects linkages,
social cohesion, social capital, and social transformation.
$ International comparisons of information and communication technologies, with special emphases
on Japan, United States and Canada.
• The spatiality of personal networks: To what extent are ties with friends and relatives affected by the
physical distance between them?
• Reciprocity in social networks: To what extent do people exchange the same or different kinds of
emotional and material aid with each other or other network members?
Computer Networks as Social Networks: Much of Prof. Wellman’s work analyzes computer
networks as social networks. In the 1990s, Prof. Wellman worked with computer scientists and
information scientists at the University of Toronto and the private sector to design, development and
evaluate the Cavecat/Telepresence system for computer supported cooperative work. This combination
of personal video and collaborative computing enabled people to communicate, work and commune
over large distances. With Caroline Haythornthwaite, he edited a special issue of the American
Behavioral Scientist, The Internet in Everyday Life (Nov, 2001), which was substantially revised and
expanded into a book of the same name (Oxford: Blackwell, 2002). He also was the Technology and
Community editor of the Encyclopedia of Community (Sage, 2003).
Communities as Social Networks: Since the late 1960s, Prof. Wellman has developed the study of
communities as social networks: demonstrating that communities are no longer limited to
neighborhoods. He has been studying the ways in which people use these ties to gain resources, and the
implications of these networks for large-scale social organization. His current research in this area
focuses on multilevel analyses of support, reciprocity in personal community networks in an era of
“networked individualism”. In 1999, he published Networks in the Global Village (Westview Press), an
edited volume of original analyses of personal communities around the world, each written by a resident
of the country being discussed.
Interdisciplinary Links: Much of Prof. Wellman’s research has been collaborative and
interdisciplinary, including work with communication scientists, computer scientists, educators,
geographers, historians, information scientists, lawyers, psychiatrists, psychologists, statisticians, and
theologians.
International Links: Prof. Wellman founded and headed the International Network for Social
Network Analysis in 1976. He collaborated on a study of the Internet in Catalonia (with Manuel Castells
and Isabel Diaz de Isla) and is now doing similar work in Japan (with Kakuko Miyata, Ken’ichi Ikeda
and Jeffrey Boase). He is collaborating with Wenhong Chen in studying transnational entrepreneurial
networks. His work has been translated into Bulgarian, Catalan, Chinese, French, German, Hungarian,
Italian, Japanese, Spanish, and Portuguese. He is a Fellow of the Centre for Public Administration and
Policies, Institute of Social and Political Sciences, Technical University of Lisbon, and is a member of
the International Scholarly Advisory Committee of the Institute for Empirical Social Science, Xi’an
Jiaotong University, China. He has lectured and held workshops about social network analysis in
Bulgaria, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Hungary, India, Israel, Japan, the
Netherlands, Peru, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, Taiwan, the United Kingdom, and the USA. His work
has been linked to research and development at AMD, Bell Canada, IBM, Mitel Networks and Nokia.
He has keynoted in North and South America, Europe and Asia.
Editorial Posts: Prof. Wellman founded the informal social network analytic journal, Connections,
in 1977 and edited/published it for twelve years. He was the principal founder of a new sociology
journal, City and Community, whose first issue appeared in March 2002, and served as an Associate
Editor through 2005. He has been the Book Essay co-editor of Social Networks, and is the North
American editor of Information, Communication and Society. He serves on a number of other editorial
boards.

Teaching: Prof. Wellman teaches graduate and undergraduate courses in Urban Sociology,
Community, Social Network Analysis, Information and Communication Technology and Society, and
Research Methods. Prof. Wellman received the International Network for Personal Relationships’
Mentoring Award in 1998. He was the second place winner of the International Society for Personal
Relationships' Outstanding Teaching Award (1996). At the University of Toronto, the Department of
Sociology has named its undergraduate research prize after him (the “Barry Wellman Prize”).
Honors: Prof. Wellman was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada in 2007. In 2006, the
Department of Sociology awarded the S.D. Clark Endowed Chair to him.
Prof. Wellman received an Outstanding Career Contribution Award by the Canadian Sociological
and Anthropological Association (2001). He has received Outstanding Career Contribution Awards from
two sections of the American Sociological Association: Communication and Information Technologies
(2004) and Community and Urban Sociology (2006). In 2008, the International Communication
Association gave him its initial “Open Field Award” for work that “has been very influential in media
and communication research” “from outside the discipline of communications.” In May 2008, his
“networked individualism” work was included in the national English-language entrance exam for
Chinese universities.
The Department of Sociology at the University of Toronto honored him in April 2001 with the
“Barryfest” conference: “Social Structure in a Changing World – Presentations in Honour of Barry
Wellman”.
Prof. Wellman’s “The Community Question” article (American Journal of Sociology, 1979) about
networked communities was selected as one of the seven most significant English-Canadian sociology
articles of the 20th century by the Canadian Journal of Sociology (Summer 2001). His co-edited Social
Structures book was cited as one of the hundred most significant sociological books by the International
Sociology Association. It presents a score of original articles exemplifying social network analysis
(Cambridge University Press, 1988; JAI-Elsevier, 1997). Four of his articles, representing the range of
his work, have been anthologized in Social Networks: Critical Concepts in Sociology, edited by John
Scott: "Structural Analysis: From Method and Metaphor ...", "The Community Question," "The Place of
Kinfolk ..." and "Net Surfers Don't Ride Alone."
Prof. Wellman has been a Fellow of the Bellagio Center (Rockefeller Foundation), the Netherlands
Institute for Advanced Studies, and the Halbert Foundation (Hebrew University). In 1999 he was a
Visiting Professor at the School of Information Management and Systems, University of California,
Berkeley. He was the Distinguished Keynote Speaker of the International Network for Social Network
Analysis in 1994, that society’s highest honor. He was second prize winner of the International Society
for Personal Relationships' Outstanding Teaching Award (1996), a finalist for its Outstanding
Publication award, and a multiple winner of the University of Toronto’s Dean's Excellence Award. Prof.

Leadership: Barry Wellman heads the NetLab research network at the University of Toronto.
He founded the International Network for Social Network Analysis in 1976, headed this
interdisciplinary body until 1988, and continues as its International Coordinator, Executive Committee
member, and “Ties & Bonds” columnist. Prof. Wellman is the Chair-Elect of the Communication and
Information Technologies section of the American Sociological Association. He is one of the few
persons to chair two sections, having previously served as Chair of the ASA’s Community and Urban
Sociology section. He has also been has been on the Council of the ASA’s Community section, and its
Sociology and Computing section, as well as the Community Research section of the International
Sociological Association. Prof. Wellman was elected to the Executive Committee of the
interdisciplinary Association of Internet Researchers in October 2001. Prof. Wellman was selected in
1994 as one of the five active Canadian members of the Sociological Research Association (the
American honor society), was named in 2000 to its Executive. He rose inexorably through the Executive
ranks to be the Association’s Chair, 2004-2005. He has also been selected for the Canadian Who’s Who.
Prof. Wellman was the American Sociological Association's first Advisor on Electronic
Networking and the first Chair of the ASA’s Electronic Publications committee. He is the Advisor of the
“Virtual Communities and Environments” Focus Area for the Association for Computing Machinery’s
Special Interest Group on Supporting Group Processes. He was a founding member of the Association
for Computing Machinery's Electronic Community Center committee, and he was a developer of the
National Geographic Society’s Web Survey 2000 on “millennium trends” and Web Survey 2001
investigating “the internet in everyday life”. He founded the Structural Analysis Program at the
Department of Sociology and led it, 1979-1983. He is on the Steering Committee of the University of
Toronto’s Knowledge Media Design Institute (KMDI), and on the editorial board of eleven journals.
Conjugal Connection: Barry has been married with Beverly Wellman since 1965. A medical
sociologist, Beverly Wellman is the co-editor (with Merrijoy Kelner) of Complementary and Alternative
Medicine: Challenge and Change (Reading, UK: Taylor & Francis, 2001). She and Dr. Kelner are the
co-authors of numerous articles analyzing the uses and professionalization of complementary and
alternative medicine. Her life career has included being a modern dancer, a teacher of primary grades
and creative movement, and a student and practitioner of the Alexander and Laban techniques.
Biographical Notes: Prof. Wellman was educated on the streets of New York City, and at P.S. 33,
Creston JHS 79, the Bronx High School of Science (Honors, 1959), Lafayette College (Honors B.A. in
History, 1963), and Harvard University (M.A. in Social Relations, 1965; Ph.D. in Sociology, 1969). His
doctoral thesis examined how race, class, and school segregation affect adolescent identity and
cosmopolitanism in Pittsburgh at the time of the civil rights movement.
Barry Wellman was Captain of Lafayette College’s undefeated GE College Bowl team in 1962. In
April 2003, he and the team returned Lafayette for a fortieth anniversary reunion where they lectured
about their work and defeated current undergraduates in a College Bowl game, 320-150. Barry Wellman
has appeared in other television and radio shows, and was featured in a feature-length documentary
movie (What If...) about the late science-fiction writer (and friend) Judith Merril. He was the only
academic whose picture hung among the performing artists in Toronto’s historic “Bagel” restaurant,
until its demise in 2004.

Barry Wellman, FRSC (b. 1942) directs NetLab as the S.D. Clark Professor
of Sociology at the University of Toronto. His areas of research are
community sociology, the Internet, human-computer interaction and social
structure, as manifested in social networks in communities and organizations.
His overarching interest is in the paradigm shift from group-centered relations
to networked individualism

Early Life

Wellman was born, bar mitzvahed and raised in the Grand Concourse and
Fordham Road area of the Bronx, New York City. He attended P.S. 33 and
Creston J.H.S. 79, and was a member of the Fordham Flames. He gained his
high school degree from the Bronx High School of Science in 1959. He
received his A.B. (Bachelor's) degree magna cum laude from Lafayette
College in 1963, majoring in social history and winning prizes in both history
and religious studies. At Lafayette, he was a member of the McKelvy Honors
House and captained the undefeated 1962 College Bowl team), whose final
victory was over Berkeley. [1]

His graduate work was at Harvard University, where he trained with Chad Gordon, Charles Tilly and Harrison
White, and also studied with Roger Brown, George Homans, Alex Inkeles, Florence Kluckhohn, Talcott Parsons
and Phillip J. Stone. He received M.A. in Social Relations in 1965 and a Ph.D. in Sociology in 1969. His focus was
on community, computer applications, social networks and self-conception, and his dissertation showed that the
social identities of African-American and White American Pittsburgh junior high school students were related to
the extent of segregation of their schools.

Barry Wellman has been married since 1965 with Beverly Wellman, a leading researcher in complementary and
alternative medicine.

Community Sociology

Wellman has been a faculty member at the University of Toronto since 1967. Until 1990, he focused on community
sociology and social network analysis. During his first three years in Toronto, he also held a joint appointment with
the Clarke Institute of Psychiatry. His first project at the Clarke, working with D.B. Coates was co-directing the
"Yorklea Study" in the Toronto borough of East York. This first East York study, with data collected in 1968,
attempted (unsuccessfully) to do a field study of a large population, linking interpersonal relations with psychiatric
symptoms. However, the study was notable for pioneering the study of "social support", documenting the
prevalence of non-local friendship and kinship ties, demonstrating that community is no longer confined to
neighborhood and studying non-local communities as social networks. Wellman's "Community Question" paper,
reporting on this study, has been selected as one of the seven most important articles in English-Canadian
sociology. [2]

A second East York study, conducted in 1978-1979 at the University of Toronto's Centre for Urban and Community
Studies, used in-depth interviews with 33 East Yorkers (originally surveyed in the first study) to find out much more
information about their social networks. It was probably the first study to provide evidence about which kinds of ties
and networks provide which types of social support. It showed, for example, that sisters provide siblings with much
emotional support, while parents provide financial aid.[3] The support seems to come more from the characteristics
of the ties than from the networks in which they are embedded.[4] This research also demonstrated that wives
maintain social networks for their husbands as well as for themselves. [5]

Although Wellman's work has shifted primarily to studies of the Internet (see section below), he has continued
collaborative analyses of the first and second East York studies, showing that reciprocity (like social support) is
much more of a tie phenomenon than a social network phenomenon[6] and that the frequency and supportiveness

7
of interpersonal contact before the Internet was non-linearly affected by residential (and workplace) distance.[7] He
has also edited Networks in the Global Village (1999), a book of original articles about personal networks around
the world.

Social Network Theory

Concomitant with his empirical work, Wellman has contributed to the theory of social network analysis. The most
comprehensive statement is in his introductory article to Social Structures, co-edited with the late S.D. Berkowitz.
This work reviews the history of social network thought, and suggests a number of basic principles of social
network analysis.[8]

More recent and more focused theoretical work has discussed the "glocalization" of contemporary communities
(simultaneously "global" and "local")[9] and the rise of "networked individualism" -- the transformation from group-
based networks to individualized networks.[10]

Social Network Methods

Wellman's methodological contributions have been for the analysis of ego-centered or "personal" networks --
defined from the standpoint of an individual (usually a person). As batches of personal networks are often studied,
this calls for somewhat different techniques than the more common social network practice of analyzing a single
large network.

A 2007 paper, co-authored by Wellman (with Bernie Hogan and Juan-Antonio Carrasco), has discussed
alternatives in gathering personal network data.[11] A paper with Kenneth Frank showed how to tackle the problem
of simultaneously analyzing personal network data on the two distinct levels of ties and networks.[12] The most
widely cited papers are the simplest:
Co-authored guides to analyzing personal network data while using the statistical software packages SAS and
SPSS.[13] Other work by Wellman with Howard D. White and associates has examined how to link social network
analysis with the scientometric study of citation networks. This research has shown that scholarly friends do not
necessarily cite each other, but that scholars cited in the same article are apt to seek each other out and become
friends.[14]

Internet, Technology and Society

Barry Wellman has often worked in collaboration with computer

scientists, communication scientists and information scientists. In
1990, he became involved in studying how ordinary people use the
Internet and other communication technologies to communicate and
exchange information at work, at home and in the community. Thus
his work has expanded his interest in non-local communities and
social networks to encompass the Internet, mobile phones and other
information and communication technologies.

Communities & Technologies, Amsterdam, 2003

Work Networks and ICTs

Wellman's initial project ("Cavecat" which morphed into "Telepresence") was in collaboration with Ronald
Baecker, Caroline Haythornthwaite, Marilyn Mantei, Gale Moore, and Janet Salaff. This was a pioneering effort in
the early 1990s, before the advent of the Internet, to use networked PCs for videoconferencing and computer
supported collaborative work (CSCW).[15] Caroline Haythornthwaite (for her dissertation, etc.) and Wellman

8
 analyzed why computer scientists connect with each other -- online and offline. They discovered that friendships
as well as collaborative work were prime movers of connectivity at work.[16].

Wellman and Anabel Quan-Haase also wondered if such computer-supported work teams were supporting
networked organizations, in which bureaucratic structure and physical proximity did not matter. Their research in
one high-tech American organization -- heavily dependent on instant messaging and e-mail showed that the
supposed ICT-driven transformation of work to networked organizations was only partially fulfilled in practice. The
organizational constraints o of departmental organization (including power) and physical proximity continued to
play important roles. There were strong norms in the organization for when different communication media were
used, with face-to-face contact intertwined with online contact. [17]

Community Networks and ICTs

As a community sociologist, Wellman began arguing that too much analysis of life online was happening in
isolation from other aspects of everyday life. He published several papers (alone and with associates) arguing the
need to contextualize Internet research, and proposing that online relations -- like off-line -- would be best studied
as ramified social networks rather than as bounded groups.[18]. This argument culminated in a 2002 book, The
Internet in Everyday Life (co-edited with Caroline Haythornthwaite), providing exemplification from studies in a
number of social milieus.

Prof. Wellman also led some of the empirical work in this area. He was part of a team (led by James Witte) that con questa
surveyed visitors to the National Geographic Society's website in 1998. Wellman's unit used these data to counter ha chiarito
the dystopian argument that Internet involvement was associated with social isolation.[19] è vero che
critiche Some critics wondered if the non-random nature of the National Geographic web survey had distorted the results. produce iso
However, the large U.S. national survey analyzed in the Pew Internet report, "The Strength of Weak Ties" (with
Jeffrey Boase, John Hannigan and Lee Rainie) also showed a positive association between communication online
and communication by telephone and face-to-face. The study showed that email is well-suited for maintaining
regular contact with large networks, and especially with relationships that are only somewhat strong. The study
also found that Internet users get more help than non-users from friends and relatives. [20]

Research into the "glocalization" concept also fed into this intellectual stream. Keith Hampton and Wellman
studied the Toronto suburb of "Netville "a pseudonym". It showed the interplay between online and offline activity,
and how the Internet -- aided by a list-serve -- is not just a means of long-distance communication but enhances
neighboring and civic involvement. [21]

Wellman's current work continues to focus on the interplay between information and communication technologies,
especially the Internet, social relations and social structure. For example, he is collaborating on Wenhong Chen's
study of transnational immigrant entrepreneurs who link China and North America.[22]

Wellman's major current focus is as the head of the Connected Lives project studying the interplay between
communication, community and domestic relationships in Toronto and in Chapleau in rural northern Ontario. Early
findings of the interplay between online and offline life are summarized in "Connected Lives: The Project".[23]
More focused research (with Jennifer Kayahara) has shown how the onetime two-step flow of communication has
become more recursively multi-step as the result of the Internet's facilitation of information seeking and
communication.[24]. Recent research (with Tracy Kennedy) has argued that many households, like communities,
have changed from local groups to become spatially- dispersed networks connected by frequent ICT and mobile
phone communication.[25] Other NetLab researchers, besides those noted in the text and the notes, include Prof.
Dean Behrens , and doctoral students Paul Glavin and Jing Shen.

Teaching and Mentoring

Wellman is known for his interactive style of teaching and extensive mentoring of graduate and undergraduate
students in courses about community, social network analysis, and technology and society. He has co-authored
with more than 80 persons, almost all of whom were his students. He received the International Network for
Personal Relationships' "Mentoring Award" in 1998.

Networks in the Global Village (Boulder, CO: Westview 1999);
The Internet in Everyday Life (with Caroline Haythornthwaite; Oxford: Blackwell 2002).

Wellman has an extensive website with many of his publications available for reading. He has also compiled, for
fun, Updating Cybertimes (http://chass.utoronto.ca/oldnew/cybertimes.php): a site that translates songs, movies,
popular culture and historical figures from pre-Internet days to current times.
