The study of material culture offers an exciting area for interdisciplinary
research and conversation, as it brings together those engaged in scholarly
inquiry in areas as diverse as history, art history, architecture as
object, design, decorative arts, cultural studies, literature,
communications, anthropology, and sociology. If your work touches on the
study of designed objects and consumer goods, we would love to learn more
about it at this year's conference in Boston. Academics, practitioners,
graduate students, museum professionals, and public historians are welcome.
Past presentations in this area have focused on decorative arts and the
construction of literary characters, the material culture of poverty,
commemorative items, historic and modern furnishings and fashion, branding
and marketing trends, and a wide range of associated topics.
Selected works may be considered for publication in an edited volume after
presentation.
Submission Guidelines:
