As the world around us transitions into an increasingly digital environment, the way we interact with material culture becomes less physical and more virtual. How does this affect the field as a whole? How do we adapt from a hands-on practice to an interface-guided experience? And how does this change the definition of ‘material culture’?

Panelists will include recently hired professionals and a Resume/CV builder.
