Seminar: Made in Madagascar, Speculating in and about Natural Wonders on "The Real Treasure Island"

By dr. Andrew Walsh. His current research focuses on the parallel rise and divergent fates of northern Madagascar's sapphire and ecotourist trades.   More specifically, he has been studying how the lives of the Malagasy people involved in these trades are shaped not only by the particular sorts of work required of them, but by the peculiar demands of the foreign consumers served by their work.
