Cathleen M. Giustino is associate professor of history at Auburn University in Auburn, Alabama. She received her B.A. from Grinnell College in 1983 and her Ph.D. from the University of Chicago in 1997, where she worked with John W. Boyer, Michael Geyer and Frantisek Svejkovsky. Her book, _Tearing Down Prague's Jewish Town: Ghetto Clearance and the Legacy of Middle-Class Ethnic Politics around 1900_ (East European Monographs, 2003) examines the intersection of modernization, anti-Semitism, and liberal municipal politics in late-Habsburg Prague through the lens of the city's architecture. Presently, her research continues to focus on Prague, but she is expanding her examination into the interwar period. She has published a small number of articles, including "Municipal Activism in Late-Nineteenth-Century Prague: The House Numbered 207-V and Ghetto Clearance" in _Austrian History Yearbook_ (2003).
