Pam is a Ph.D. student in the Department of Communication.  Her research investigates how abstract, complex issues are communicated through photography.  Recent projects studied photographs produced during the housing crisis in 2008 and the environmental movement in the 1970s. 

In her free time, she enjoys spending time with her dog, Shy the Dalmatian/Beagle, and baking bread and cookies in the kitchen. She enjoys coffee and the rain, two influences from the time she spent living near Seattle for her undergraduate degree.
