Peggy is Chair of the Playwriting Program and Assistant Professor of Playwriting at SUNY Purchase College. 

The Role of the Artist in Peacebuilding

Peggy launched a new Study Abroad program in Northern Ireland in Summer 2023.

Students are introduced to the history of Northern Ireland and the legacy of The Troubles. Through lectures, workshops, and experiential field work, students explore the power of the arts to promote healing, understanding, and transformation within a conflict/post-conflict society. Working in partnership with local artists in Belfast, students create socially engaged art during a residency with our core partner, The MAC.
