UGAT 38th Annual Conference Call for Participants

Dear colleagues,

On behalf of the Ugnayang Pang-Agham Tao, Inc. (UGAT), the professional association of anthropologists in the country, we would like to invite you, and members of your organization, to the 38th Annual National Conference, which is being hosted by the Department of Sociology and Anthropology of the Ateneo De Manila University (ADMU). It will be held at the Ateneo De Manila University campus in Quezon City on October 20-22, 2016.

This year, the theme of the conference is Circulating Anthropological Knowledge in the Public Sphere: Building Communities of Practice. The conference aims to discuss practices and relationships that contribute to the successes and/or failures in integrating anthropological knowledge into official policy and industry work.

We have a line-up of scholars who work in applied fields, as well as government practitioners to deliver keynote lectures. We feel that these discussions will be especially relevant to individuals in government, business, and educational institutions, as it addresses the nature of the interactions between anthropologists, on the one hand, and industry and the state on the other.

We hope you can join us in the conference and participate in the conversations on how to best engage anthropological knowledge in your work. Please see the attached documents for information on registration and accommodations in the area. Should you have any inquiries, please contact our secretariat at ugat.conference@gmail.com or at 0908-7784806 (Monica Santos) / 0908-8890203 (Joy Tadeo).

Thank you very much.


Sincerely,


Fernando Zialcita
Conference Convenor

CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENT

Anthropologists are uniquely positioned to generate new understandings of society and culture, whether at the micro or macro-level. Such knowledge can be brought to bear on many contemporary problems afflicting our world today. They could also lead to more realistic policies. The conference aims to discuss how anthropological/ethnographic knowledge is, or is not, accessed as possible references for policies and programs by both the government and the private sector. It asks, what insights can be shared from various projects involving practitioners of anthropology? Saan tayo nagkulang?

It is time for us to reflect on how our discipline connects with various audiences within industry and the state. Have we been participating in the formation of key policies and discourses? How have we been listening to the concerns of our potential audiences, fmding ways to dialogue with them, building relationships and communicating the fruits of our research?

The conference specifically addresses the following concerns:

1. How policies and practices are formulated within industry (especially business and media), and selected domains in the Philippine state (the municipal, the presidential, the congressional, the judicial)

2. How these processes intersect with the key concerns of the various communities or audiences anthropologists wish to reach

3. The relationships and practices that contribute to the success or failures in the integration of anthropological knowledge into official policy and into industry

4. The perceptions of anthropology from the standpoint of practical industries

This year's conference will feature presentations that may shed light on the nature of the interactions between anthropologists, on the one hand, and industry and the state on the other.

Mariflor Parpan, Anthropologist

Mariflor Parpan
17 October 1936 - 8 April 2016


From Vicky Tauli-Corpuz:

I received news that Mariflor Parpan Malicsi, passed away yesterday at around 5:55 p.m., April 8. She died from cancer of the colon. For those who still remember, Mariflor, was one of the anthropologists who exposed the Chico Hydroelectric Dam Project in the 1970s. She became a staunch oppositionist to the Chico Dam project and she worked closely with the Kalinga elders. She became an adopted daughter of the Kalinga for her support to their struggle. Those who have contact with the Kalinga people whom she worked with in the anti-dam struggle, please inform them of her passing away. According to Ching Verzosa-Gerlock who sent the news, a memorial mass will be held for her will be held on Sunday, April 10, at Our Lady of Assumption Parish in Project 8. For more information on the exact time, you can get in touch with Edna (Chiqui) Co in her email co.edna@gmail.com.
