Life After the Dodo: Discovering Mauritius

Museum anthropologist Chip Colwell-Chanthaphonh has recently returned from 10 months living and studying on the tiny island-nation of Mauritius—a place with heavenly beaches and tropical wildlife—and also a place of incredible language, cultural, and religious diversity. Chip will share remarkable images, stories, and insights into the forces that bind together the 1.3 million people living on an island smaller than Colorado’s Jefferson County. Following the lecture, enjoy a Mauritian-inspired dessert reception supported by the Barbara C. & John G. Welles Fund.
