DESCRIPTION:Institutions funded by Arts Council England and community-run 
 social networks both require resilience and churn to adapt and grow or ris
 k decline and failure. I will discuss two projects: first modelling the ef
 fect of spatial contagion via a high granularity time-series of joining an
 d leaving events of managerial volunteers for the pre-internet FidoNet net
 work. FidoNet began in 1983 and peaked in 1995 with users across six conti
 nents and up to 5 million users in the US alone. It persists to this day b
 ut declined by an estimated three orders of magnitude. Second I will cover
  preliminary findings on board level interlock between Tier 1 Arts Council
  England funded institutions\, including what other sectors of companies a
 nd charities they are connected to\, measures of centrality and influence\
 , and how they have responded to shocks in their sectors. I will also summ
 arise the methods and data structures used to extract\, generate\, store a
 nd analyse these networks\, and how we constructed helpful units of analys
 is for dynamics over time.
