Object Studies: Introductions to Material Culture is a textbook that introduces students to an interdisciplinary approach to material cultural study. This text helps reveal how everyday objects from pens and coffee cups to our most cherished keepsakes help define our collective histories and personal narratives. Object Studies is organized around accessible and engaging chapters on objects with "model essays" that present original projects designed to engage students with a series of concepts and research activities. Each will demonstrate a key methodology tied to specific learning outcomes, but all chapters will be intertwined in their attention to the project of developing the core skills of "object studies": careful viewing, writing detailed descriptions, setting out and testing research hypotheses, and telling stories through material artifacts. Aimed towards undergraduate students taking courses in material culture as well as postgraduate students embarking on independent research projects these chapter "studies" are practically oriented and demonstrate research projects that can be undertaken either in a course or even through personal study. Chapters in Object Studies conclude with research questions, suggestions on methodology, and a discursive bibliography designed to help students pursue their own projects based on these examples.

Industry Reviews

“Due to its instructive, easily replicable nature, Object Studies is particularly suited for an audience of teachers and students of material culture, broadly speaking. This book is an especially useful blueprint for educators wishing to incorporate material studies into their lessons … . Mulready tactfully presents the book’s chapters in a way that initially encourages an inward connection to material culture and eventually works outward.” (Caroline Hackett, H-Net Reviews, h-net.org, December, 2024)
