  • Summary

  • Sociologist PATRICIA KINGORI, Professor of Global Health Ethics at the WELLCOME CENTRE FOR ETHICS & HUMANITIES (ETHOX), UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD (www.ndph.ox.ac.uk/team/patricia-kingori) introduces THE MUSEUM OF REVELATORY FAKES (MoRF)(https://torch.ox.ac.uk/morf-homepage) podcast series which explores how the fake can reveal a hidden truth and how fakes can be deployed to reveal other fakes, for example, the use of 'fake' or 'pseudo' patients to expose fake doctors. MoRF is an exciting collaboration between ETHOX (www.ethox.ox.ac.uk) and award-winning visual and conceptual artist AL HOPWOOD (www.arhopwood.com/morf), with support from TORCH, THE OXFORD RESEARCH CENTRE IN THE HUMANITIES (www.torch.ox.ac.uk). SERIES CONTRIBUTORS (1) Oxford microbiologist, DR ELISA GRANATO (elisagranato.com/): the first person to receive the pioneering Oxford-AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine, who subsequently became the victim of a bizarre death hoax; (2) award-winning American journalist SUSANNAH CAHALAN (www.susannahcahalan.com/): author of THE GREAT PRETENDER about American psychologist DAVID ROSENHAN's influential 1973 study, ON BEING SANE IN INSANE PLACES; (3) EFRAM SERA-SHRIAR (Associate Professor of English Studies, UNIVERSITY OF COPENHAGEN www.eframserashriar.com/), PROFESSOR CHRISTINE FERGUSON (Chair in English Studies, UNIVERSITY OF STIRLING www.stir.ac.uk/people/257490), and MATT TOMPKINS (post-doctoral researcher, Choice Blindness Laboratory, UNIVERSITY OF LUND bit.ly/42rbdht) on American investigator ROSE MACKENBERG, who worked with HARRY HOUDINI in the 1920s to expose spiritualist fraud; and (4) British chemist PROFESSOR SIR MARTYN POLIAKOFF (royalsociety.org/people/martyn-poliakoff-12107/) on his friendship with physical chemist and writer DAVID JONES (www.theguardian.com/science/2017/au…-jones-obituary), famous for his spoof ‘Daedalus’ columns for the New Scientist and developer of a 'fake' perpetual motion machine, whose secret David Jones – tantalisingly - never revealed.
