Joshua Korenblat serves as an Associate Professor in the Design Department at the State University of New York at New Paltz, maintaining an office in OL 203 with contact available via phone (845) 257-2875) and email (korenblj@newpaltz.edu). His academic profile centers on innovative design applications that address complex societal and environmental challenges through human-centered methodologies.

His research program encompasses several interconnected domains:

• Transformation Design systems focused on care-based interventions
• Visual Literacy (Graphicacy) frameworks for inclusive communication
• Educational Game Design for literacy development
• Anthropocene-responsive design practices
• Participatory design for community engagement

Korenblat's scholarly output reveals consistent exploration of design as a catalyst for social change, particularly through embodied experiences and visual communication. His recent publications demonstrate how walking pedagogy can address environmental crises, how tablet-based games foster literacy, and how visualization fluency creates more accessible learning environments. This body of work consistently bridges theoretical design concepts with practical applications in education and community contexts.

While specific award histories and grant funding details remain undocumented in available sources, his publication record indicates sustained contribution to design scholarship through interdisciplinary approaches that merge social innovation with visual communication theory.
