This annual symposium provides emerging scholars – graduate students
from a variety of academic disciplines -- with a venue for
interdisciplinary dialogue centering on material culture. By freeing
scholars from chronological and topical restraints, we encourage
discussion across perceived boundaries of discipline, medium, and
methodology.

This event, now in its fifth year, brings together scholars from fields
including History, Anthropology, Art History, English, and American
studies. The day is organized around three panels of three papers each,
with comments by established scholars – Charles Hummel (Winterthur
Museum), David Brody (Parsons School of Design), and Lynn Meskell
(Stanford University). The day will end with a keynote address by Susan
Strasser, historian of American consumer culture. We invite emerging and
established scholars, museum professionals, and interested members of
the public to join us for an exciting day of new scholarship.

The symposium and special tours are free. We encourage you to
pre-register online up until April 10th. On-site registration will also
be available at the symposium. We require pre-registration for all
special tours.
