Markers of Authenticity is a cross-disciplinary research network which hosts conversations about the markers of authenticity in human experience of the contemporary and past worlds from a range of perspectives.This broad research program takes in issues as diverse as:
- authorial and creative practice
- memory and cognition
- cultural heritage
- looting and the antiquities trade
- forgery
- the ethics of our relationship with the past and with its living representatives
