Information:
Much
substantive research in Philippine studies remains to be done,
but much is already being effected by a sizeable contingent of
scholars all over the world, particularly in the Philippines itself.
The ICOPHIL organisers are committed to provide a forum for them,
and to help promote scholarship that does not remain inside the
walls of academia, but contributes substantially to strategic
thinking and policy making for sustainable development.
Some
panel topics as suggested by the Organizing Board (naturally,
other topics are also welcome):
-Nationalism and culture
-Indigenous peoples and ancestral domains
-Environmental politics
-Migration: new insights
-Conflict and conflict resolution
-State-society relations
-Issues in agrarian change
-Urban dynamics
-Old and new social movements
-Health, illness, and body politics
-Gender, class, and ethnicity: connections
-Socio-economic mobility
-Demography: the population problem revisited
-Philippine literature
-The media in social life
-Philippine studies: a state of the art
-ICT and new global Philippine entrepreneurship
-Regionalism and federalism
-Geopolitical developments in and around the Philippines

Proposals
for panels and papers should be submitted by 1 October 2003, and

of panels, in particular concerning nationality and institutional
affiliation. Panels consist of three to four scholars.
