IBM Faculty Research Fellow,

Professor Danziger served UCI as Dean of the Division of Undergraduate Education from 1995-1999 and has also been Chair of the Irvine Division of the Academic Senate, Associate Dean of the School of Social Sciences, and Chair of the Department of Political Science. Professor Danziger's general research interests are in the social and political impacts of information and communication technologies (ICTs), information use in the political process, local politics, public resource allocation, and British politics. His primary research focus has been in the area of technology and politics, especially on the uses, impacts, and regulation of information and communications technologies. He was, from 2002-2012, Principal Investigator on a $2.8 million NSF grant, the POINT Project (People, Organizations and Information Technology). Professor Danziger has been Associate Director of the interdisciplinary CRITO (Center for Research on Information Technology and Organizations) research group at Irvine, internationally recognized as one of the top five centers in the world for the social scientific study of high technologies. In 1998, the group was designated as an NSF Industry-University Cooperative Center. Graduate study with this group entailed study with faculty in the social sciences, management sciences, and computer science as well as participation in major national and international research projects. He has also analyzed alternative conceptual and empirical models of resource allocation systems and has written on the causes and impacts of fiscal constraints on local political systems. Professor Danziger's undergraduate courses include the introduction to political science, American metropolitan politics, urban policy analysis, comparative politics, and technology and society. His graduate courses are related to technology and politics, policy analysis, and organizational theory. He also served as Faculty Director of UCI's Capital Internship Programs (Washington, DC and Sacramento) for fourteen years. He has also been a faculty member on five Semester at Sea voyages, including two that circumnavigated the globe, and one that focused on countries on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean.

Professor Danziger was born in Los Angeles and is the first member of his family to attend college. At Occidental College on scholarship, he was class president and lettered in two sports. His selection as a Marshall Scholar provided him with two years of study at the University of Sussex in England where he earned a Master of Arts degree and represented the British Universities in basketball. He returned to the UK from Stanford University to research his Ph.D. and then was hired at UC Irvine. He and his wife, also a college professor, have two children who work in the tech industry. He is active in local politics and has a life-long love of sports.
