Stephen Klineberg

In addition to his role with PAGF, Dr. Klineberg has been a professor at Rice University's Sociology Department since 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 eight major teaching awards at Rice, Dr. 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 April 2005.
Dr. Klineberg 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.
Dr. Klineberg graduated from Haverford College near Philadelphia, he received an MA in Psychopathology from the University of Paris and a PhD in Social Psychology from Harvard.
