Penelope Ploughman was a member of the University at Buffalo's Sociology Department and Dr. Adeline Levine's "Love Canal Research Group" from 1977-1980. Building on her work as part of the "Love Canal Research Group", Ploughman wrote her dissertation on the news coverage of Love Canal.

After earning her Ph.D. in 1984, Ploughman earned a J.D. from the University at Buffalo's Law School in 1989.
