"Chasing Shiva: The Hunt for Looted South and Southeast Asia Antiquities" by Jason Felch

Jason Felch is an author, award-winning investigator, and expert on the black market in looted antiquities. As the first speaker in the 2023 NHMU Lecture Series, Jason presented "Chasing Shiva: The Hunt for Looted South and Southeast Asia Antiquities" on February 21 at the Natural History Museum of Utah in Salt Lake City. The live event was switched to an online livestream after inclement weather arrived in Salt Lake City that evening.

Felch began investigating the illicit antiquities trade in 2005 as an investigative reporter at the Los Angeles Times. In 2006, he was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in Investigative Reporting for exposing the role of the J. Paul Getty and other American museums in the illicit trade.
