Beyond Indiana Jones: An inclusive Philippine archaeology

Nov. 22, 2021. “Traditionally, archaeology looks at the past to help us understand the past,” writes anthropologoist Stephen Acabado in Rappler. Director of the UCLA Center for Southeast Asian Studies, he describes the growing “development of Indigenous archaeology and the participation of local stakeholder communities.” Not only does this approach use archaeology to examine recent history, identity, environmental and climate change, says Acabado, “[it] empowers Indigenous peoples to participate in the process of creating historical narratives, especially the history of human-environment interactions… [as well as to] help decolonize histories.”

"Natives" versus "Indigenous": Filipinos' False Dichotomy

Oct. 13, 2021. "The messianic complex of colonialism continues today with how indigeneity is understood by many laypersons [in the Philippines]," writes Center for Southeast Asian Studies Director Stephen Acabado in Rappler, with co-authors Marlon Martin and Georgina Lumauig.
The op-ed examines the impact of Spanish colonialism and U.S. imperialism on the self-identity of Filipinos, noting, "The reference to the term indigenous should be more of empowerment rather than historical since the latter makes it pejorative."

The Fight Against China's Bribe Machine

Oct. 5, 2021. "Ultimately, the Biden administration needs to weigh whether and when U.S. courts ought to be employed to solve what is chiefly a foreign policy problem. It may be the case that diplomatic olive branches—rather than prosecutorial arrows—are more effective in encouraging foreign leaders to reject [China's Belt and Road Initiative] bribes," writes Burkle Center Director Kal Raustiala in Foreign Affairs with co-author Nicholas Barile.
