Maya Soren is a recent graduate of the Master of Arts in Art History programme at Concordia University (2011). She wrote her Master’s thesis on the Eaton’s Ninth Floor Restaurant in Montreal. Maya’s thesis contributes to the growing discourse of feminist architectural history through her assessment of the restaurant’s social and cultural value as a gendered space. Maya received an Honours Bachelor of Arts with Distinction in Art History and French from the University of Toronto in 2008. She spent the summer of 2010 restoring the façade of the Church of Santo Gemine and surveying the Church of San Giovanni Battista at the International Institute of Restoration and Preservation in San Gemini, Italy. Her research interests include historic building and cultural heritage preservation, urban exploration, feminist architectural practices, gendered spaces, and public memory in the built environment. She has written texts for the Canadian Heritage Information Network’s Virtual Museum Project, the Canada Agriculture Museum’s permanent collection catalogue and Palimpsest III.
