A diverse set of scholars from the social and physical sciences met at the USC Annenberg Center on September 15th and 16th for a Workshop on Network Theory. While discussing the role of networks in their disparate fields (anthropology, communication, computer science, neuroscience, organization science, sociology, etc) the primary focus of the workshop was to pursue the development of a transdisciplinary social network theory.
