Biennial CMCS Conference

“Imagined Forms: Modeling and Material Culture” November 17-18, 2017 www.imaginedforms.com

Our Mission

CMCS aims to promote and support scholarship and innovative pedagogy in the study of material culture. The Center has emerged as a hub for faculty and graduate students in Art, Art Conservation, Art History, CHAD, English, Fashion, Geography, History, Museum Studies, Preservation Studies and WPAMC, among others. The Center also provides a nexus for the exchange of information on national and international developments in material culture studies, working with the goal to create a connected community of scholars who share their work in a variety of media and settings. The Center aims to honor the University of Delaware’s longstanding commitment to material culture approaches by making itself a nationally and internationally recognized leader in this field.
