The lecture draws from the newly published Routledge volume Marcos, Martial Law, and the Complexities of Memory in the Philippines (2026), co-edited by John Lee Candelaria, Kerby C. Alvarez, and Jamie Pring. The volume examines how memories of the Marcos era are constructed, contested, and circulated across institutions, communities, and digital spacesโand how struggles over the past continue to shape contemporary Philippine politics.

This opening lecture brings students into conversation with contemporary scholarship on political memory, historical narratives, and democratic politics in the Philippines, asking a question with enduring political significance: Who gets to shape how a nation remembers?
The lecture forms part of the Departmentโs continuing internationalization initiatives and is organized in collaboration with Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta (UMY), with the participation of Political Science students from MSUโGeneral Santos, MSUโMaguindanao, and Indonesia.
Join us as we begin another semester of conversations that connect our classrooms in Mindanao with scholars and students across borders.
International conversations. Political questions. Perspectives that travel.
