Jennifer Gaugler is an architectural historian, editor, and adjunct professor with a background in architectural design and preservation.

As a historian, she is interested in how buildings and plans shape the way we live. Her research has spanned multiple continents, including the United States, Europe, and Africa, and has also encompassed multiple scales, from the small vernacular structure to the plan of the city. She strives to shed light on sites and narratives that might otherwise be overlooked.

As an editor, she has experience editing a variety of architecture- and planning-related projects, including scholarly manuscripts and articles, technical reports, and instructional materials. She has published a book chapter on African modernist architecture, a peer-reviewed journal article on Rwandan dwellings, and an encyclopedia entry on architecture and urbanism in Rwanda.

She currently teaches in the architecture department at Wentworth Institute of Technology in Boston, where she specializes in teaching architecture history for undergraduate students and research methods for graduate students.

Her doctoral dissertation at the University of California, Berkeley, explored modern architecture, historic preservation, and identity in Rwanda. She also holds a Bachelor's degree in architecture from MIT, and a Master of Architecture degree from Tulane University. She has practiced architecture and historic preservation in the U.S. and Rwanda, at firms including Goody Clancy and MASS Design Group.
