A panel addressing what it means to speak, write, and dream in languages other than English at this time of increasingly shrinking borders and yet widening gap of inequality.

This event is part of a speaker series “The Philippines and its Elsewheres” (organized by Lucy MSP Burns). The series explores the politics of knowledge production, university education, and global citizenship with Filipino Studies as its launching point. It is concerned with what interconnectivity across borders enables and demands, as forms and politics of the global continually shift.

The Philippines and its Elsewhere is a speaker series presented by the Asian American Studies Department and the Center for Southeast Asian Studies. Sponsors include the UCLA International Institute, Institute for American Cultures, and the Asian American Studies Center. With support from the Office of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion, Office of Instructional Development, Office of the Dean of Social Sciences, UCLA Library, Center for the Study of Women, Department of Comparative Literature, Department of English, Institute on Inequality and Democracy at the UCLA Luskin School, and Center for World Languages.
