Our panel on decolonizing education in the Philippines

It was a pleasure to be in a panel with friends Raphael Yabut and Luther Aquino earlier this week at the University of the Philippines - Cebu conference, 'Decolonial perspectives: Reclaiming our rights as people from the Global South'. It was a panel that grew out of the decoloniality reading group that Yabs and I organized in the first half of the year.



The conference is still ongoing; it was our honor to be the first panel on Day 2. Luther's paper was titled, 'Girl, Boy, Bakla, Tomboy: Negotiating Indigenous Gender Variance in the Philippine Classroom,' Yabs' was 'Liberating Religious Education', and I spoke about the work I did in my PhD thesis on decolonizing the teaching of national identity. A highlight of the day was catching Prof Boventura de Sousa-Santos' plenary later that afternoon.

I attended the Philosophy of Education Society annual conference in the US this year. I've attended before, but only online (during the pandemic lockdowns), so it was my first time to attend in person
