The Yale MacMillan Center and Freedom of Expression
In all of our activities, we follow Yale’s policies and support free expression and free inquiry.
In support of our goal of encouraging a wide range of opinions within our community, the MacMillan Center for International and Area Studies does not take its own institutional positions on issues of the day.

Collaborations to Study Materiality and Objects
COSMOS is a constellation of scholars, practitioners, and students reimagining approaches to materiality and objects across the world. We demystify collections and archives of all kinds. Through object-based research, we aim to rethink the past and transform our visions for the future.
This innovative approach entails creative experimentation, historical inquiry, and scientific exploration through hands-on work with the materials that shape our global cultural heritage. Founded on a commitment to ethical research and equitable partnerships among institutions and communities, we foster dynamic collaborations and networks of practice across the humanities, arts, sciences, and social sciences.
