Abstract:
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 communications 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 is currently Principal Investigator on a $2.8 million NSF grant, the POINT Project (People, Organizations and Information Technology). Professor Danziger is 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 entails 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 serves as Faculty Director of UCI's Capital Internship Programs (Washington, DC and Sacramento).
