SUMMARY
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 co-directs
the NetLab Network and is a member of the Knowledge Media Design Institute.
Prof. Wellman is the co-author of the prize-winning Networked: The New Social Operating
System (with Lee Rainie, Director of the Pew Internet and American Life Project), published by MIT
Press in Spring 2012. The book analyzes the social nature of networked individualism, growing out
of the Social Network Revolution, the Internet Revolution, and the Mobile Revolution. He has
published 313 articleswhich have been co-authored with 111 scholars (including 79 current and
former students)and he is the (co-)editor of 24 books and book-like special journal issues.
Prof. Wellman is a Fellow 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 a Fellow of IBM Toronto's Centre for Advanced
Studies. Prof. Wellman has been a Fellow of IBMs Institute of Knowledge Management, a consultant
with Mitel Networks, a member of Advanced Micro Devices' Global Consumer Advisory Board, and
Intels People and Practices research unit. He has been a keynoter at conferences ranging from
computer science to theology, and a committee member of the Social Science Research Councils
(and Ford Foundations) Program on Information Technology, International Cooperation and Global
Security. At the University of Toronto, he has been the S.D. Clark Professor at the Department of
Sociology and a member of the Cities Centre.
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 the NetLab team:
The Connected Lives and Networked Individuals studiesthe third and fourth studies of the
Toronto borough of East York: the interplay between social networks, community and Internet
use.
The paradigm shift from group-centered relations to networked individualism.
The study of how a loosely-coupled networked scholarly organization 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.
International comparisons of information and communication technologies, with special
emphases on Japan, United States and Canada.
Computer Networks as Social Networks: Much of Prof. Wellmans 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. Wellmans research has been collaborative and
interdisciplinary, including work with archivists, communication scientists, computer scientists,
educators, geographers, historians, information scientists, journalists, lawyers, librarians,
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 with Kakuko Miyata, Kenichi Ikeda and Jeffrey Boase in Japan.
Prof. Wellmans work has been translated into Bulgarian, Catalan, Chinese, French, German,
Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, 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, Xian 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.
Prof. Wellman has published in a wide array of books and journals, including: American
Behavioral Scientist, American Journal of Sociology, Annual Review of Sociology, Bulletin de
Methode Sociologique, Canadian Review of Sociology and Anthropology, Communication Yearbook,
Communications of the Association for Computing Machinery, Cultural Anthropology Methods
Bulletin, Current Sociology, the Encyclopedia of Psychology, the Encyclopedia of Mental Health,

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 at the University of Toronto awarded the S.D. Clark Endowed Chair to
him. The Department had previously honoured him (in April 2001) with the Barryfest conference:
Social Structure in a Changing World Presentations in Honour of Barry Wellman.
Prof. Wellman received the Canadian Digital Media Pioneer Award in 2014. In 2008, the
International Communication Association gave him its initial Open Field Award for work that has
been very influential in media and communication researchfrom outside the discipline of
communications.He 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 May 2008, his
networked individualism work was included in the national English-language entrance exam for
Chinese universities.
Prof. Wellmans 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 coedited 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 societys 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 Torontos Dean's Excellence Award.
Prof. Wellmans website has been an "Expert's Choice" of the Social Science Information Gateway
(UK). He was awarded a Society Barnstar and a Diligence Barnstar in 2007 for his work on
Wikipedia, and his Geekus Unixus paper was nominated in 2007 for the IgNobel Award in Writing.
In 2010, Prof. Cliff Lampe reported, In studying social network sites, every time I think Ive thought
of something new, it turns out that Barry Wellman wrote about it ten years ago [keynote address
to the WikSym conference, Gdansk Poland]. In March 2012, Wellman was identified by the Toronto
Globe and Mail as having the highest h-index (of citations) of all Canadian sociologists.
Leadership: Barry Wellman currently co-directs the NetLab Network.
He founded the International Network for Social Network Analysis in 1976, heading this
interdisciplinary body until 1988. Prof. Wellman is the Chair-Emeritus of the Communication and

Sociological Association. He is one of the few persons to have chaired two sections. He has also
been has been on the Council of the ASAs 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

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 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.
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 surveyed visitors
to the National Geographic Society's website in 1998. Wellman's unit used these data to counter the dystopian argument that
Internet involvement was associated with social isolation.[19]
Some critics wondered if the non-random nature of the National Geographic web survey had distorted the results. 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-toface. 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.
