Peggy Ann Kusnerz received the PhD in American Culture from the University of Michigan. As a historian, she is interested in the changing position of photography in society over time. A partial list of her publications is available here. As a photographer, Kusnerz explores the relationship between national gardening traditions and cemeteries.  She uses three panoramic cameras in her work: a 1903 Kodak Panoram, the Noblex 135 and the Hasselblad XPan.
