I'm really glad to see Tagalog language growing in some major US universities, but at what expense (i.e. the Romualdez funded Harvard program) -- and will the critical Philippine/Filipino studies programs follow?

Disagree with the second half. The erasure of Philippine Studies is a part of the lobotomization of US empire. The best works today emerge from the global south and diaspora. Its absence in the center - where it punctures the most - is a machine of historical revisionism.
Area Studies programs at American universities are invariably harnessed for nefarious imperialist purposes.
The Philippines would be better off if there were no Critical Philippine Studies programs at American universities.

tbh I'd rather Shay Mitchell not claim her Filipino roots than Vanessa Hudgens claim them to help legitimize the Marcos administration

wuthering heights literally made me drop premed and become the booky and brooding kinda doctor
the “no eighteen-year-old’s favorite book is wuthering heights” discourse erases those of us who spent our entire childhoods longing to be 35… we were annoying but we were valid

Few others have shaped my approach to Philippine history more than James Scott. A real loss.
Devastated to learn that the political scientist James C. Scott recently passed away. Such a generous, brilliant, and original thinker, from "Weapons of the Weak" to "Moral Economy of the Peasant" to "Seeing Like a State" to "Against the Grain."

I think my experience with Asian Studies, especially the impact of teaching Philippine history in schools that have never had it, has indelibly changed my approach to its possibilities. The Studies can be imperial, esp. with it's economics. But Study cultivates the critique.

I'm with this for the first half, at least for the Cold War history of Area Studies. But Area Studies isn't a fatal impact, and the imperative is to liberate study from the university. But if we can build a critical mass of political education, in the metropole too, I'm with it.

Ok, some news: as of today, I am now officially an Associate Professor of History at NYU. It’s an unbelievable privilege to get an academic job in the place you call home, and I couldn’t be more excited to be coming back to New York.

the Democrat "Let Me Be Clear" has been on overdrive
I am hearing reports of some airlines only offering flight credits to passengers for cancelled flights.
Let me be clear — you are entitled to get your money back promptly if your flight is cancelled and you don't take a rebooking.

Nick and it's not even close. SpongeBob and Hey Arnold are the greatest mainstream critiques of US empire in young people's pop culture. I said what I said. 😏

Sigh. Porter used to be the cream of the crop before the pandemic, the kind of airline that got you feeling fancy going to the island to fly out of. Now it's the pits, no running water (and sanitizer in restrooms), under the bottom of the barrel stuff.
