High Stakes: How Children from Mexican Immigrant Families Transition into 
American Elementary Schools

10:30-11:45 Friday April 29
MSC Rudder Room 707

Please attend the reception for Dr. Crosnoe in Room 804 Harrington 3:00-4:00
Before coming to the University of Texas, Robert Crosnoe received his Ph.D. 
in Sociology from Stanford University and completed a post-doctoral 
fellowship at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.  Professor 
Crosnoe's main research area is the life course and human development, with 
a special focus on education.  Specifically, he is interested in the ways 
in which the educational pathways of children and adolescents are connected 
to their general health, development, and personal relationships and how 
this connection can be leveraged to explain population-level inequalities, 
especially those related to race/ethnicity and immigration.  Recent 
publications can be found in Child Development, Journal of Marriage and 
Family, and American Educational Research Journal.  Currently, Professor 
Crosnoe is the principal investigator on three projects: 1) The Social 
Marginalization of Adolescents in High School, a two-year study of the 
long-term effects of not "fitting in" during the high school years that is 
supported by an R03 grant from NICHD, 2) Education as a Developmental 
Phenomenon, a five-year study of the intertwined nature of academic 
progress and personal relationships during secondary school funded by a 
Faculty Scholar Award from the William T. Grant Foundation, and 3) The 
Developmental Trajectories of Immigrant Children, a three-year study of 
children from Mexican immigrant families making the transition into 
American elementary schools funded by a Young Scholar Award from the 
Foundation for Child Development. At the same time, Professor Crosnoe is 
currently serving as a Co-PI on the latest phase of the NICHD Study of 
Early Child Care and Youth Development.
There will be two opportunities to engage in small group discussions with 
Dr. Crosnoe:

1:00-2:00       Harrington Room 804, Jan Hughes moderator
