Assistant Professor Despina Stratigakos is an architectural historian with an overarching interest in gender and modernity in European cities. Her forthcoming book, A Women’s Berlin (University of Minnesota Press), investigates the conception of a city built by and for women, a place that was imagined and partially realized in the years before the First World War. She has published on the public image of women architects; the gender politics of the Werkbund; connections between architectural and sexual discourses in Weimar, Germany; and exiled Jewish women architects in the United States. Stratigakos received her Ph.D. from Bryn Mawr College and taught at Harvard University and the University of Michigan before joining the Department of Architecture faculty at the University at Buffalo.
