View the Webcast on Dr. Stephen L. Klineberg’s April 23rd annual report presentation, highlighting Houstonians’ changing attitudes to striking trends in society.

In March 1982, Klineberg 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, and none more clearly exemplifies the transformations that are radically refashioning the social and political landscape of urban America.

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 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.
