Interdisciplinary Research Seminar Series: Jimi Adams

University of South Carolina Professor Jimi Adams will present as part of the Carolina Population Center’s 2025-2026 Interdisciplinary Research Seminar Series.

Topic: Multiplex Closure in Adolescent Romantic and Friendship Networks.

Adams studies how networks constrain or promote the diffusion of information and/or diseases through populations. Much of this work has focused on HIV/AIDS and Covid-19 among populations in the US and Sub-Saharan Africa. Recently, his work has focused more on the integrative patterns and processes in problem-focused areas of science that draw from many academic disciplines (e.g., HIV/AIDS, demography, the environment). In addition, his work entails a focus on using social network theory to improve strategies used in the design and implementation of primary data collection projects.
