Biography[edit]
Personal life[edit]
Born Juhászi József Borisz Brúnó Béla Arnold Frigyes in pre-World War II Budapest, Hungary as the third son of William Juhasz and Mary Christanus Juhasz (Christiánusz Mária). He was born of a Jewish father, who comes from a line of wealthy German Jews of high Hungarian bourgeois, and a quarter-Jewish mother, with her maternal grandfather being Jewish. He spent his early years evading progressively the growing anti-Jewish activities in the country.
At the end of the war, his father and oldest brother were part of a progressive liberal pro-Western movement which eventually ran afoul of the authorities as Hungary was absorbed into the Soviet Union. By 1948, with the impending arrest of Cardinal Mindszenty, the Juhasz family was advised by their American contacts to smuggle themselves out of the country.[1] This took place in three stages between December 1948 and January 1949. Joseph was smuggled out of Hungary to Vienna, Austrian in the trunk of 1947 Plymouth owned by an American diplomat, Steven Koczak.[2][3] Vienna, being an island in the middle of a Soviet-controlled zone, their second movement took place in the spring of 1949 to the American zone in the city. They spent the remainder of the year in exile.
At the end of 1949, the family moved to Italy and in 1951 they relocate to the United States.[4] He graduated from Xavier High School (New York City) in 1957.
He married Suzanne Hecht in 1963. They have three children, Alexandra Juhasz (1964), Jennifer Juhasz Schwartz, Antonia Juhasz. They divorced in 1981. In 1981 he married Lorrine Wood. They have two children, Christine Juhasz-Wood (1983) and Linda Juhasz-Wood (1985). They divorced in 1994.
Academic and Professional Life[edit]
He attended Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island from 1957 to 1961 on an ROTC scholarship. At Brown he was the first undergraduate teaching assistant in the history of the school and graduated cum laude with honors in psychology.
Immediately upon graduation he became an active duty officer in the United States Navy. He served on the USS Forrestal (CVA-59) from 1961 to 1963 as officer of the deck for all general quarters, conditions (including the Cuban Missile Crisis) and eventual qualified for command duty officer. From 1963 to 1964 he was navigator on the USS Capricornus (AKA-57). From 1964 to 1965 he was executive officer and navigator of the USS Cheboygan County (LST-533). In the spring of 1965 he resigned his commission as a protest of the Vietnam War.
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.[5]
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.[6] 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[7] 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.[8] 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.[9] He his also a participant in the International Press Roundtable.
