Acquisition Information
Transferred from the Program in Social Ecology, 1987; accruals were transferred from the School of Social Ecology in 2017
and from Julia Gelfand in 2019.
Processing History
Processed by Sharon Pugsley, 1987 and Mary Ellen Goddard, 2000; updates to the collection title (formerly University of California,
Irvine, Program in Social Ecology records) and addition of 2017 and 2019 accruals by Sarah Glover, 2020.
Historical Background
The School of Social Ecology began as the Program in Social Ecology, incorporated as an academic unit at the University of
California, Irvine on January 1, 1970. The program was developed to be interdisciplinary in nature and involved with the community,
allowing students to undertake field studies with various community organizations.
Social Ecology began as an undergraduate program and occupied a portion of the Engineering building. The Program began offering
Masters degrees in 1973 and Ph.D. degrees beginning in 1976. The Program grew until it was housed in three floors of the Engineering
building, two floors of Computer Sciences, and in temporary trailers. In October 1982 ground was broken for a new Social Ecology
building. The completed building opened in November 1984 and featured special laboratories for environmental simulation, behavioral
assessment, and air and water quality studies.
The Program held yearly symposiums on environmental psychology beginning in 1980. In the 1984-1985 academic year the following
three specializations were instituted: Psychology and Social Behavior; Environmental Health and Planning; and Criminology,
Criminal Justice, and Legal Studies.
In May 1992 the University of California Regents approved a proposal for the Program to become the School of Social Ecology
with the following departments: Psychology and Social Behavior; Criminology, Law and Society; Environmental Analysis and Design;
and the Graduate Program in Urban and Regional Planning.
In 1996, when Social Ecology became the second largest UCI undergraduate major with an enrollment of 2000 students, ground
was broken for a new Social Ecology building. A rapidly growing number of community-university and industry-university partnerships
were forged with research groups focusing on gang violence prevention, community health, risk perception and management, and
international environmental cooperation. More than 250 organizations and corporations participated in the School's field learning
requirement.
A number of endowed chairs have been created within the School: the Thomas and Elizabeth Tierney Chair in Peace Research (1987);
the Heinz Family Chair in Economics and Public Policy of Peace (1988); the Warmington Chair in the Social Ecology of Peace
and International Cooperation (1989); and the Roger W. Johnson and Janice M. Johnson Chair in Civic Governance and Public
Management (1998).
As of 2020, there are four departments and programs: Criminology, Law and Society; Urban Planning and Public Policy; Psychological
Science; and Social Ecology Core Program.

a three-digit number representing more specific subject filing within the series. In the third and fourth tiers, numbers are
usually added that represent more specific subject filing within the hierarchy. Example: Tier 1 (Series) Program in Social
Ecology (155) Tier 2 155 Program in Social Ecology Tier 3 155-28 Undergraduate Tier 4 155-28-2 Mental health.
