Biographical sketch of Dr. Stephen Klineberg
A graduate of Haverford College near Philadelphia,
Professor Stephen L. 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.In March 1982, he initiated the annual
Houston Area Survey, a systematic series of telephone interviews with
representative samples of Harris County residents.
Supported by a consortium of local foundations, corporations, and
individuals, the surveys have been expanded in recent years to include
much larger numbers of Anglos, African-Americans, Hispanics, and
Asians.The recipient of nine major teaching awards at Rice, Professor
Klineberg has written numerous journal articles and publishes a
continually updated series of reports on the survey findings. The newest
report, entitled “Public Perceptions in Remarkable Times,” will be
released in the fall of 2005. He is also at work on a book that will
cover the first quarter century of the Houston Area Survey, exploring
through systematic survey research the way the general public is
responding to the economic, demographic, and environmental challenges of
our time.
