Democracy and Cultural Expression: Confronting Modernization in the Philippines Lecture with Professor Jose Dalisay
Wed | Jan 28 | 5:00PM-6:30PM
Roth Auditorium, Sanford consortium for Regenerative Medicine
Register here

Alternately hailed as a beacon of democracy in Southeast Asia and yet also seen as a place of corruption and human rights abuses, the Philippines continues to be an often-baffling cradle of contradictions.

This modernizing society seems ever on the verge of great political and economic transformation, but almost just as inevitably keeps getting held 
back by age-old realities and complexities. EmPac Pacific Leadership
Fellow Jose Dalisay explores how culture mediates this divide and 
offers reflection, relief and hope to the otherwise disempowered

Do you know the history of activism and the current issues facing students at the 10 University of California campuses? UC is one of the largest public institutions in the world- our struggles are struggles of global scale, that we face locally at each campus. UC President Janet Napolitano (former Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security) has just proposed 5% fee hikes for the next 5 years. How do students at separate campuses organize locally, while struggling transnationally?

Please join us in the SPACES practicum- one of the only student-facilitated courses at UC San Diego.
