​

Peggy Fussell is a Ph.D. candidate in Screen Cultures and Curatorial Studies at Queen’s University.  After studying digital design at Pratt Institute, she gained professional experience in post-production, creating animation and special effects for film and television. Her current research connects early media technologies, archival practices and the creation of craft-based animation. She has a special interest in the life and work of early animator, Helena Smith Dayton. In her teaching and artmaking practice, Peggy creates animation installations and collaborative art projects for schools, museums and arboretums. She uses art and visual communication to help students create personal advocacy statements that they can use to tell their teachers and others about their IEPs.
