The History of Design and Material Culture MA focuses on both objects from everyday life and representations of them since the eighteenth century as a basis for research and analysis. The course allies theory and practice in seminar-based discussions that embrace various methodological issues and perspectives, including Marxism, discourse theory, phenomenology, semiology, museology, gender, race, class, memory and oral testimony. Depending on the material you analyze in your essays and seminars, as well as the dissertation topic you choose, you can also emphasize your own intellectual and subject-specific interests. Since its inception in the late 1990s, the MA has garnered a national and international reputation as one of the pioneering and most successful programmed of its kind. As a research-led course, it harnesses the academic expertise of staff with a recognized wealth of teaching and research excellence in subject areas such as fashion and dress history, the history and theory of advertising, photography and the mass-reproduced image, and heritage and museum studies. Under guidance, you will be encouraged to explore the relationship between theory and practice and to develop your own skills as an independent researcher, thinker and writer.
