[Commlist] Special Issue "Networked Lives: Probing the Influence of Social Networks on the Life Course" published

We are pleased to announce the release of a special issue of /Advances 
in Life Course Research/, /"//Networked Lives: Probing the Influence of 
Social Networks on the Life Course/ 
<https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/advances-in-life-course-research/special-issue/10FZTPJD3T7>/."/

The special issue connects the fields of life course and social network 
research, stimulates productive dialog between them, and illustrates the 
power of this intersection for advancing theories, concepts, methods, 
and data.

Nine articles by renowned authors of both fields address cutting edge 
questions on mechanisms of personal network dynamics and the impact of 
relationships and networks in different phases of the life course. 
Topics include status attainment, health and well-being, homogeneity in 
friendships, internet use and social connectedness and the significance 
of unlinked lives. Two commentaries by Marlis Buchmann and Peter V. 
Marsden complete the issue with reflections on current challenges and 
promising directions.

A selection of articles, asterisked below*, are currently open or 
full-text access.

All best wishes,

/Betina, Rick, Dario and Mattia//, Editors
