​Amanda A. Douberley is a historian of twentieth-century American sculpture and public art. She holds a Ph.D. in Art History from the University of Texas at Austin, and a B.A. in Art History, as well as English Language and Literature, from the University of Virginia.  

Her research explores the intersection of mid-twentieth-century American sculpture, architecture, design, and urban planning. She is currently revising her dissertation, "The Corporate Model: Sculpture, Architecture, and the American City, 1946-1975," for publication. In it she situates post-war American sculpture in the context of public relations practices and urban renewal.
