SUMMARY:ALF Presents: Dr. Stephen Klineberg
DESCRIPTION:Join us to hear  Dr. Stephen Klineberg on March 10 from 6-8pm at the Houston-Galveston Area Council\n\n\nJoin us to hear  Dr. Stephen Klineberg speak about his 40 years of research on the ongoing changes in the Houston metropolitan region.  \nLocation and Parking  \nThe presentation will be held at the Houston-Galveston Area Council at 3555 Timmons Lane\, Houston\, TX 77027\, on the second floor in Conference Room C. \nFree parking is available in the garage which is located on the northeast side of the building. You may park in spots marked “visitor” as well as any open\, non-reserved spot. Building entry is on the 1st floor through the glass doors into the lobby. Elevators are located next to the security desk. \nAbout Dr. Klineberg \nStephen L. Klineberg is Professor Emeritus of Sociology at Rice University and the Founding Director of the Kinder Institute for Urban Research. As the director of the annual “Kinder Houston Area Survey” (1982-2021)\, he has tracked the shifts in economic outlooks\, demographic patterns\, life experiences\, attitudes\, and beliefs among successive representative samples of Harris County residents\, during four decades of remarkable change. His book exploring the national implications of this research\, entitled Prophetic City: Houston on the Cusp of a Changing America\, was published in June 2020 by Simon & Schuster. Klineberg is the recipient of twelve major teaching awards at Rice and a much sought-after speaker in the Houston community and beyond. He is a graduate of Haverford College\, with an MA from the University of Paris and a PhD from Harvard. He and his wife Margaret have lived in Houston since the early 1970s; they have two children and five grandchildren. He is an ALF Senior Fellow from Class X\, 1992-1993. \nAbout the Presentation \nProphetic City: Tracking the Economic and Demographic Transformations through Forty Years of Houston Surveys. \nFew other cities more clearly exemplify the trends that are refashioning the social and political landscape across America – the growing inequalities in today’s worldwide\, knowledge-based high-tech economy; the epic ongoing ethnic and cultural transformations; and the new importance of “quality of place” in determining the fates of cities. We review the findings from four decades of systematic surveys in Harris County to explore the way the new realities are unfolding\, to assess the public’s changing attitudes and beliefs\, and to consider the implications of these trends for the way area residents are responding to the central challenges and opportunities that will inform the future of Houston\, Texas\, and America in the years ahead.
