Stephen L. Klineberg, PhD Professor, Department of Sociology Rice University A graduate of Haverford College near Philadelphia, Professor Klineberg received an M.A. in Psychopathology from the University of Paris and a Ph.D. in Social Psychology from Harvard. After teaching at Princeton, he joined Rice University's Sociology Department in 1972. The recipient of nine major teaching awards and of the 1994/1995 Student Association's Mentor Recognition Award, he is a faculty associate and divisional advisor at Lovett College, where he twice served as Interim Master. In March 1982, he and his students initiated the annual Houston Area Survey, tracking the remarkable changes in the demographic patterns, life experiences, attitudes and beliefs of area residents during a period of remarkable change. No other city in America has been the focus of a long-term longitudinal research program of this scope. None more clearly exemplifies the transformations that are radically refashioning the social and political landscape of urban America. The project has attracted great interests and generous support from foundations, corporations and individuals in the wider Houston community and beyond. Their support has made it possible not only to pay for the professional surveys, but also to fund a post-doctoral research fellowship associated with this research and to expand the surveys each year with additional interviews in Houston's Anglo, African-American and Latino communities. More details about Dr. Klineberg can be found on his Web Site at Rice University. |
