Sarah Huber

Sarah Huber is an associate professor of Library Science at Purdue University Libraries and director of the Knowledge Lab, a makerspace that supports low-stakes experimentation with multimodal forms of assignments and scholarship. Her teaching and research focus on visual literacy and on how information formats shape ideation, meaning-making, and scholarly communication across disciplines.

Her creative practice—including textile art, creative writing, and painting—has shaped this work, emphasizing the value of moving across formats to explore and communicate ideas. She approaches both scholarly and creative projects through shared frameworks grounded in principles of composition, language, and design, holding each to the same expectations of clarity, rigor, and purpose. Whether using traditional or AI-assisted tools, she treats format as a deliberate means of exploring and expressing ideas with intention.
