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.
