elite — Barnes-Burkett elite affiliations (1962)

Description

A small bipartite network of the affiliations of 20 members of the Chicago corporate elite with 24 organizations in 1962: the boards of 15 corporations, of four cultural and educational institutions (the Art Institute of Chicago, the Museum of Science and Industry, Northwestern University and the University of Chicago) and five social clubs. The data are from Table 1 of Barnes and Burkett (2010), as transcribed in Cory Brunson's bitriad R package (data set chicago1960s).

Nodes are persons (identified by surname) and organizations, and an edge connects a person to an organization with which the person is affiliated (as a board member or club member).

The network has the following properties:

  • Nodes: name, the surname of the person or the name of the organization; is_organization, whether the node is an organization.
