Mark Hauser studies American cultural and business practices of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

His current book manuscript, All the Comforts of Hell: Doughboys, Business, and American Mass Culture in the First World War, is under contract with The Johns Hopkins University Press. This project examines how soldiers’ welfare programs spurred developments in the production, management, design, distribution, and consumption of a variety of goods and services.

His research has been supported by the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of American History, the Hoover Institution, the Center for the History of Print and Digital Culture and Wisconsin Historical Society, the Kautz Family YMCA Archives, the Wisconsin Veterans Museum, and the Hagley Museum and Library.
