Stephenie McGucken
Stephenie earned her PhD from the University of Edinburgh in 2018 with a thesis examining the representation of women in Late Anglo-Saxon manuscripts and what they reveal about the audiences who used the manuscripts. She founded the <a href="https://edinburghmedievalpigmentproject.com/">Edinburgh Medieval Pigment Project</a> to facilitate experimentation with pigments commonly used in the Middle Ages. She is currently working on a project related to the <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/series/61821-all-souls-trilogy">All Souls novels</a> and their television adaptation that analyses how various aspects of art history are deployed to create an impression of reality.
