Judith Treas joined UCI in 1989 as the founding chair of the Sociology Department. She established the Graduate Program in Demographic and Social Analysis (DASA) and later the campus research Center on Demographic and Social Analysis (C-DASA), which she now directs. Engaging issues of inequality, gender, family, aging, and the life course, often from a cross-national perspective, she has published over 100 articles, chapters, and books. With her students, now working on four continents, she pioneered research accounting for country differences in household gender inequality. Another line of research considers older adults in America’s immigrant families. Her contributions have been honored by the American Sociological Association, the Gerontological Society of America, the National Council on Family Relations, the Population Association of America, and Oregon State University.

Past President of the Pacific Sociological Association, Dr. Treas has also served the American Sociological Association as Chair of its sections on Aging and the Life Course as well as Sociology of Population. She facilitated the U.S. Census Advisory Committee (Population Association of America Subcommittee), providing technical consultation on projects and products. She served on the Board of Directors of the Population Association of America and on the Board of Overseers of the General Social Survey.
