Peggy Ann Bloomer is an Assistant Professor of Graphic/Information Design at Central Connecticut State University, with a Ph.D. in Media and Communications and a background in English literature, she brings the humanities into conversation with design, visual culture, and emerging technologies. Her scholarship and creative practice explore how images, stories, and systems of knowledge shape what we notice, remember, and value. Her work includes research on artificial intelligence in design education, community-engaged public history, photography, and archival practice. A designer and educator, she connects teaching with creative inquiry and public engagement, with particular attention to whose experiences become visible and whose knowledge finds a place in our shared conversations.
