Our November lunch meeting will take place on Wednesday, November 28 at 11:30am at Andiamo Ristorante, 2521 Rutland Blvd (at Burnet Road). There's a treat in store: New CCV member Megan Biesele will share her presentation on "Cultural Heritage of our Ancestors: The Click-Speaking African San."
Megan is a cultural anthropologist and activist on behalf of indigenous peoples. A lifelong Austinite, she has studied and worked in Botswana and Namibia off and on over the course of 48 years. Her time in Africa has been spent with the Ju|'hoan San, whose forebears are said by the Human Genome Project to be mankind's very oldest ancestors. Both her research and her activist work have centered on cultural heritage documentation and maintenance of the Ju|'hoan language through recording, transcription, translation, publication, and literacy projects.
This isn't your ordinary travelogue ladies! If you've never heard of click-speaking peoples, then come join us and plan to be fascinated and broaden your horizons!
