The changing face of Houston and America | Dr. Stephen Klineburg | TEDxRiceU

Dr. Klineburg takes us through correlations in demographic trends between America and Houston using decades of data from the Kinder Institute. He helps us understand the changes by explaining the mechanisms behind demographic movements. A graduate of Haverford College, with an M.A. from the University of Paris and a Ph.D. from Harvard, Stephen Klineberg is Professor of Sociology at Rice University. In 1982, he and his students initiated the annual “Kinder Institute Houston Area Survey,” now well into its fourth decade of tracking the remarkable changes in the demographic patterns, economic outlooks, experiences and beliefs of Harris County residents. The recipient of twelve major teaching awards and a much sought-after speaker in the Houston community and beyond, Klineberg is completing a series of published reports on this ongoing research, while also serving as founding-director of Rice University’s Kinder Institute for Urban Research. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
