Hello All,

My name is Andrew Walsh. I am an Assistant Professor of Anthropology at the University of Western Ontario. I have been doing ethnographic research with sapphire miners and traders in northern Madagascar for the past few years, and am now trying to better understand how the international gem trade works.

More information about my past and present research in Madagascar can be found at:

http://anthropology.uwo.ca/faculty/wals ... chpage.htm

Please don't hesitate to get in touch if you would like to know more.

I look forward to participating in the forum!

Andrew

Welcome indeed! I agree with Jason, that research sounds fascinating. I hope that you'll be able to further it through conversing with many of the wonderful people here in the forum. :)

Madagascar is top on my list of "exotic" locales to visit in my lifetime.
