NOW OPEN FOR:
Consuming Objects: Negotiating Relationships with the Material World
12th Annual Material Culture Symposium for Emerging Scholars
University of Delaware and Winterthur Museum, Garden and Library
April 11 & 12, 2014
Keynote Speaker: Wendy A. Woloson, Assistant Professor of Digital and
Public History at Rutgers University-Camden
The 12th Annual Material Culture Symposium begins Friday evening, April
11, at the University of Delaware with a roundtable discussion. Wendy
Woloson will discuss her new project, provisionally titled From Yankee
Notions to Plastic Vomit: A History of Crap in America.
The symposium continues on Saturday, April 12, at 8:30 am at the
Winterthur Museum, Garden and Library with presentations by nine
emerging scholars on a diverse set of material culture topics. This
year the three panels explore the themes of fashioning identity through
consumption, rethinking foodways, and the relationship between the
state and consumption. The symposium, co-sponsored by the Center for
Material Culture Studies at the University of Delaware and the
Winterthur Museum, investigates the potential of object-based research
to expand and even reinvent our understanding of culture and history.
Comments will be given by Susan Kern, Visiting Associate Professor of
History at the College of William and Mary, Gabriella Petrick,
Associate Professor of Nutrition, Food Studies, and History at George Mason University, and Catherine Whalen, Assistant Professor of American Material Culture Studies at Bard Graduate Center.
Attendees will have the opportunity to take special tours of
Winterthur’s collections with graduate students of the Winterthur
Program in American Material Culture. The symposium is free and open
to the public, but advance registration is encouraged. To register,
