Materiality, Artefacts & Technologies in Culture & History (MATCH) Research Group, Newcastle University

Description

MATCH is an interdisciplinary research group in the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, Newcastle University. We generate, coordinate, and elevate multi-strand research around technology and material culture in human societies, from the Palaeolithic to the present day. Our vision is to create an international centre of excellence for material culture research of global scope, rooted within the North-East of England but open to the world. We strive to:

• Provide a catalyst to develop material culture research cutting across Schools and subject areas within the HaSS Faculty and wider University.
• Foster networking, interaction and debate around themes of Materiality, Artefacts, and Technology that embrace all times and places within human culture worldwide, in collaboration with the HaSS Research Institutes, Centres and Groups.
• Attract outstanding doctoral candidates, support their funding applications, and provide them with world-class training and career development opportunities.
