Earlier Version of Learning Communities
- An earlier version of this chapter was written by Evan Glazer.
- The author of the current chapter decided that she wanted to write a new chapter rather than an extensive edit of the old one.

Summary
- This chapter and the next are concerned with the ways in which networks display "structure" or deviation from random connection.
- In the current chapter, we've approached the same issue of structuring from the "top-down" by looking at patterns of macro-structure in which individuals are embedded in non-random ways.
- The tools in the current chapter provide some ways of examining the "texture" of the structuring of the whole population.
- In the next chapter we will focus on the same issue of connection and structure from the "bottom-up. " That is, we'll look at structure from the point of view of the individual "ego."
- Taken together, the approaches in chapters 8 and 9 illustrate, again, the "duality" of social structure in which individuals make social structures, but do so within a matrix of constraints and opportunities imposed by larger patterns.
