Spotlight: Trafficking Culture (UK)

March 1, 2009

“Trafficking Culture aims to produce an evidence-based picture of the contemporary global trade in looted cultural objects. This research program is based at the University of Glasgow and is funded by the European Research Council.

On this website, you can keep up to date with the research as it progresses. The Projects page outlines the research activities which make up the overall research programme, and links to summaries of work to be undertaken in each research strand. The Encyclopedia is a constantly evolving resource which presents introductory materials on the research topic. We encourage you to start here if you are looking for a short case study of a famously looted artefact, a critical analysis of a relevant law, a selection of methodological orientations for conducting research on the topic, or a brief introduction to criminological or social theory which may help us understand and engage with the issues. The Publications tab will take you to our research output past and present.
