The University of Alberta stands alone in Canada as the sole institution providing a doctoral program in Human Ecology. With a rich academic heritage, this field continues to address modern-day complexities affecting our everyday existence. Within the Department of Human Ecology, Material Culture studies examine the societal significance of items, analyzing their production, usage, distribution, and reception across both modern and historical settings - with special attention given to apparel and fabrics. This specialized focus benefits from the Department's exceptional Clothing and Textiles Collection, housing over 20,000 preserved textile and clothing items of museum caliber. This cross-disciplinary area of investigation aims to uncover how physical objects play a fundamental role in cultural assimilation and human development.
