Before this, Stephanie studied for her undergraduate degree at Plymouth University. She has recently co-organised the conference ‘Decolonising History: Representations of Conflict in a “Post-war” Europe’, an event which took place as part of UCL’s Centre for the Study of Contemporary Art Spring Programme. Centred on the conjunction of visual representation and politics, her doctoral research examines how oppositional image makers have mobilised the camera as a prism through which to scrutinise Thatcherism, as well as the mass media institutions through which that ideology has been creatively constructed and reproduced. Her MA thesis ‘Against Hegemony: (Re)Framing the ‘un- and under-employed’ in Exit Photography Group’s Survival Programmes in Britain’s Inner Cities’ was awarded the Oxford Art Journal Dissertation Prize in 2014.
