Stéphanie Hornstein

Born in Montréal, Stéphanie Hornstein completed a BFA at Concordia University and Master’s at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland. She is currently pursuing a PhD in Art History through the inter-university program in Montréal. Her doctoral research is concerned with tracing patterns in nineteenth- and early twentieth-century travel photographs of the broad region which was designated by Westerners as the “Orient.” Her particular focus is on themes that are common to photographic representations of Japan and Egypt. Stéphanie was recently selected as Concordia’s sixth Researcher-in-Residence, a year-long position for which she will further her work on illustrated travelogues using the library’s collection. She is also the managing editor for a book series organized by the research group Formes actuelles de l’expérience photographique and published by Artexte.
