RESEARCH
Benjamin Hufbauer is a specialist in American art and Architectural history. He received his B.A. from the University of California at Santa Cruz, and his M.A. and Ph.D. from the University of California at Santa Barbara. He has published articles on subjects ranging from Bugs Bunny, to architecture, to African masquerades in such journals as African Arts, American Studies, Competitions, and Res. His book, Presidential Temples: How Memorials and Libraries Shape Public Memory, January 2006, examines the commemoration of the American presidency in architecture and museum displays in the twentieth century. He is currently interested in the ways artists, writers, film directors, and the mass media imagine architectural spaces, and the use of these imaginary spaces both as places for characters to act and as symbolic expressions of society that reflect upon larger issues of gender, ethnicity, and ideology.
