Mission

The Coalition of Master’s Scholars on Material Culture (CMSMC) is dedicated to helping emerging master’s scholars, who are at a crucial point in their academic career, by providing a platform to publish their work and contribute to the expanding field of material culture. Drawing from the fields of Art History, Archaeology, History and Museum Studies, CMSMC intends to foster interdisciplinary discussions centered around a diverse pool of topics. Furthermore, the Coalition is dedicated to disseminating information that is publicly accessible while maintaining rigorous academic standards.

Diversity Statement

The Coalition of Master’s Scholars on Material Culture recognizes the significant lack of diversity in academia and specifically in the field of Material Culture. As a Coalition that seeks to amplify the voices of emerging scholars, we dedicate our work to doing so in a manner that does not discriminate based on Race, Gender, or Sexual Orientation. We seek to create a space where diversity is welcomed and celebrated as a means of developing new and thought provoking ideas in the field of Material Culture.

Accessibility Statement

The Coalition of Master’s Scholars on Material Culture is dedicated to creating a platform that provides readily available content to its readers. In doing so, CMSMC intends to bring free and readable articles to the public, while maintaining a standard of academic excellence. CMSMC strives to become a resource for both academics and the everyday learner, and as such prioritizes accessibility to our content.
