Joseph B. Juhasz (born January 30, 1938) is a Hungarian–American teacher, psychologist, and architect.

Biography[edit]
At the end of 1949 the family moved to Italy and in 1951 they relocated to the United States.[1] He graduated from Xavier High School (New York City) in 1957.
Juhasz attended Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island from 1957 to 1961 on an ROTC scholarship.[2]
From 1965 to 1969 he was a graduate student in psychology at the University of California, Berkeley, receiving in PhD in psychology in 1969. His primary advisor was Theodore R. Sarbin, with whom he began co-publishing while still a graduate student. His dissertation dealt with the links between psychological role theory, imaging, imagining and being imaginative. This line of research led to evaluating the status of hallucianations in direction and toward the role of human creativity in architectural design in the other.[3]
In 1968 he became a regular faculty member in psychology at Bennington College.
From 1970 to 1972 he was assistant professor of psychology at Bucknell University. While at Bucknell, he obtained a National Science Foundation post-doctoral fellowship to the University of Otago, in Dunedin, Otago, New Zealand. From 1973 to 1974 he was a visiting assistant professor at the College Five (now Oakes College) at the University of California, Santa Cruz. In 1974 he moved to Boulder, Colorado and became a professor of architecture at the University of Colorado Boulder, retiring as professor emeritus in 2012.[4] During his tenure he served as department chair, interim dean, and chairs of the faculty assembly and intercampus faculty council. Additionally from 1978 to 1979, he was visiting professor at the University of Toronto, at Sungkyunkwan University in the summers from 2009 to 2016, and the Community College of Denver as a lecturer in architectural technologies[5] from 2012 to 2017.
The transition from teaching psychology to environmental design was facilitated by his co-edited book Environments: Notes and Selections on Objects, Spaces, and Behavior (1974), with Stephen Friedman.[6] This book, along with several others in the same year, helped launch the formal field of architectural and environmental psychology.
In addition to his academic work as an academic researcher and teacher, Juhasz has been producing, directing and participating in numerous radio programs on KGNU community radio in Boulder, Colorado, including the long-running show, Good Ol' CU.[7] He is also a participant in the International Press Roundtable.[8]
