It draws on theory and practice from disciplines in the social sciences and humanities, such as anthropology, archaeology, history, and museum studies.

It is divided into five broad themes, embracing both classic and emerging areas of research in the field. Chapters outline transformative moments in material culture scholarship, and present research from around the world, focusing on multiple material and digital media that show the scope and breadth of this exciting field.
