Margot (Marge) Steurbaut is a third year PhD-student with a great interest in Netherlandish stained-glass practices. In 2018, she earned her bachelor’s degree from Antwerp University (Belgium) in Conservation Studies with a specialization in stained glass. She completed her master’s degree in 2020 at the University of York (U.K.) in Stained-Glass Conservation and Heritage Management, with distinction. Her master’s dissertation discussed the role of the cartoon in 17th century stained-glass making and the working relationship between master glass painter and designer. For this, she received the Nicholas Barker Dissertation Prize. Margot also has experience working as a stained-glass conservator.

During her time at Rice, she continues to expand her stained-glass research through diverse projects, driven by a strong commitment to the protection and appreciation of the art form and its practices. Her work intersects the disciplines of art history, art conservation, and the history of science.

Her research interests include: technical art history, the evolution of stained-glass techniques, situating stained glass within the wider narrative of art history.
