I am a historian who thinks about visual, textual, and material culture, notably as it relates to fashion and architecture. I research, write, teach, lecture, and curate exhibitions.

As Professor at the University of Ghent in the Department of Art History, Music, and Theatre Studies, I teach classes on Fashion and Architecture, Heritage, Museum History and Theory, and Curatorial studies.  If you are a BA, MA, or PhD student interested in studying any of these fields at the University of Ghent, please feel free to contact me at maude.basskrueger@ugent.be.

Co-founder and former co-director of Culture(s) de Mode, I am also keenly interesting in creating and fostering research networks in the field of fashion studies.
