  I am a second-year doctoral student at the School of Museum Studies, University of Leicester. My project, funded by the AHRC Midlands4Cities DTP, investigates the concept of authenticity in art and museums. Based at the Cast Gallery of the Ashmolean Museum, University of Oxford, I focus on the significance of plaster casts from the Antique, traditionally labelled as copies, but also objects in their own right. More specifically, I am interested in viewers' perceptions about such ambiguous materials. With a background in Classical archaeology, cultural heritage studies and museum studies, in the last few years I have collaborated with universities, museums and cultural organisations in Italy, Malta, Great Britain and Chile.
