Autorenporträt
Wanda Katja Liebermann is an architectural and urban historian, licensed architect, and assistant professor in the Gibbs College of Architecture at the University of Oklahoma. Liebermann merges perspectives from a 15-year career as a practicing architect and transdisciplinary theories from architectural history, disability and feminist studies, and science and technology studies. Her research focuses on theories and practices of architecture and urbanism in relationship to disability rights and racial justice movements in the United States. In particular, she examines the recursive dynamics between concepts of identity, inclusion, biopolitics, human-technology relations, and designed environments. Liebermann's writing has appeared in the Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians, Future Anterior, the Journal of Architecture, the Journal of Design History , and several edited anthologies. Her research has been supported by the National Science Foundation, Department of Housing and Urban Development, Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies, a UC Berkeley Arcus Endowment, the Arnold J. Brunner Grant, and a Graham Foundation Grant. Liebermann received a Doctor of Design from Harvard University and a Master of Architecture and Bachelor of Arts in Architecture from UC Berkeley.
