About Me

Anna Goodman is a scholar and educator whose work focuses on the politics of architectural practice and the role of labor in defining professional identity. She received her Ph.D. and M.S. in Architecture from the University of California, Berkeley and a B.Arch. from Rice University. In her research, Dr. Goodman uses critical historical methods to understand how socially-engaged and community-driven practices shape the American architectural profession. Currently an Assistant Professor at Portland State University, she is currently working on a book project titled Citizen Architects: Labor, Activism and Welfare in American Architectural Education.
