Socialization in Higher Education and the Early Career

John C. Weidman is emeritus professor of higher and international development education at the University of Pittsburgh.  Over his career, he has served as department chair and institute director as well as consulting extensively on international higher education reform and policy.  He developed a framework for undergraduate student socialization (Weidman, 1989) that was expanded to encompass graduate and professional student socialization (Weidman, et al., 2001; Weidman & Stein, 2003). These models formed the bases for a more comprehensive framework (Weidman, 2006; Twale, et al., 2016) that will be expanded further in the proposed book.  This work on student socialization in higher education is widely recognized (Weidman, 2006, 1989; Weidman, et al., 2001; Weidman, et al., 2014; Weidman, 2010; Weidman & Stein, 2003), having been cited more than 1600 times on Google Scholar.Linda DeAngelo is an assistant professor of higher education andfaculty fellow in the Center for Urban Education at the University of Pittsburgh.  She is collaborating with Weidman on both conceptual and empirical work on student socialization (Weidman, et al., 2014).  She studies stratification, equity, and diversity issues, investigating how social inequalities are produced and manifested within higher education. Her work examines the differential effect of institutions on students, pipeline and educational transitions, and outcomes for first-generation, low-income, and underrepresented students. Currently her scholarship focuses retention, degree completion and access to and engagement in faculty mentorship. Detailed curriculum vitae are attached.
