Dallin George Young, Ph.D., is an assistant professor in the College Student Affairs
Administration and Student Affairs Leadership graduate programs at the University
of Georgia. His research focuses on a line of inquiry that investigates how novices
are trained, socialized, and educated as they move from the periphery to full participation
in academic communities of practice. His research and practice includes: theoretical
perspectives to interrogate student transitions into the academy; how graduate and
professional students learn the rules, knowledge, and culture of their fields; the
transformative potential for students engaged in peer leadership; and the (differential)
impacts of educational structures on the success of students in transition.
