Ph.D. Rosa Cordillera Castillo

Rosa Cordillera Castillo forscht zur Dekolonialisierung von Wissensproduktion und akademischen Strukturen, mit Fokus auf die Etablierung und Stärkung von Philippine Studies an der Humboldt-Universität. Sie arbeitet daran, eurozentristische Perspektiven in Lehre und Forschung zu überwinden und Wissen aus dem Globalen Süden sowie von marginalisierten Gruppen systematisch in die Hochschullehre zu integrieren. Für Universitäten und Forschungsinstitutionen bedeutet das konkret: Entwicklung neuer Curricula, Aufbau von Forschungsnetzwerken und Infrastrukturen, die nicht-europäische Perspektiven gleichberechtigt abbilden. Die Arbeit ist relevant für alle Hochschulen, die ihre Internationalisierung und Diversität in der Wissensproduktion voranbringen wollen.

• Advancing Philippine Studies at HU

  Quelle ↗

  “Advancing Philippine Studies at HU” aims to advance and promote Philippine and Filipino/a/x studies at Humboldt University Berlin by developing academic programs, projects, and/or activities related to the culture, society, and history of the Philippines and the Filipino people.Advancing Philippine studies at HU, and, by extension, Germany and continental Europe, entails a sustained effort that covers six main thrusts:1. Provide opportunities for students and researchers working on the Philippines and Filipina/o/x to share their research and creative works with each other, forge links and collaborations, learn from each other, access research grants, and disseminate their work;2. Improve the research and analytical skills of students and researchers working on the Philippines and Filipina/o/x;3. Provide regular Filipino language and Philippine studies courses at HU-IAAW;4. Procure books and films that can be used for teaching and researching Philippine and Filipina/o/x studies;5. Bring internationally renowned Philippine and Filipina/o/x studies scholars and artists to Berlin to enable them to share their work with the Berlin and Germany audience; and6. Help strengthen the international network of Philippine and Filipina/o/x studies scholars.It is funded by a donation from the Philippine Government represented by the Philippine Embassy in Berlin, and the Filipino people through the initiative of Senator Loren Legarda. This is an outright charitable donation offered to the University. Hence, the Embassy and the Philippine Government will not receive any benefit in return for the donation. Furthermore, the University has full academic, strategic, and operational control over decisions related to the donation.

  As postcolonial, decolonial, and other critics have long argued, the dominance of conceptual and institutional Eurocentrism in global academia and knowledge production needs to be overcome. However, progress on this front has been slow. Indeed, the larger project of rewriting the humanities and social sciences by integrating key references and contributors from the global South (and minority perspectives in the North) has only just begun. The pathway there consists in collaborative efforts, seeking to move beyond the dichotomies of north/south and center/periphery by exploring the generative possibilities of genuine ‘conceptual collaboration’. This refers to foundational dialogical engagements which require diverse kinds of disciplinary, linguistic, and regional expertise.This project assembles an interdisciplinary, transregional-oriented group of BUA- and Berlin based researchers, who have already long pursued an inclusive and pluralizing intellectual agenda alongside their academic partners in many world regions. Some of us have come to Berlin from the South. Building on these experiences, we seek to contribute to the project of decentering and decolonizing the social sciences and humanities and diversifying their starting points.Moreover, different political developments, such as funding cuts for critical scholarship, a rise in (neo)populism and authoritarianism, growing mistrust in science and governments, have threatened academic freedom in many places. There is an urgent need to create inclusive spaces and collaborative formats that enable dialogue and mutual exchange between academics, critical thinkers and activists based in the global North and South.“co2libri: conceptual collaboration – living borderless research interaction”The name of our initiative underscores that conceptual collaboration stands for our foundational dialogical approach. In this way, co2libri pursues three main objectives: a) reconsider/rethink theory (in terms of alternative conceptual frameworks and baselines), b) develop and cultivate visions of more fair and adequate research practices globally in the light of southern perspectives, and c) explore the potentials of genuine conceptual collaboration across disciplines, locations and positionalities.

• Data management in anthropology: the next phase in ethics governance?

  2018

  Social Anthropology · DOI

  Recent demands for accountability in ‘data management’ by funding agencies, universities, international journals and other academic institutions have worried many anthropologists and ethnographers. While their demands for transparency and integrity in opening up data for scrutiny seem to enhance scientific integrity, such principles do not always consider the way the social relationships of research are properly maintained. As a springboard, the present Forum, triggered by such recent demands to account for the use of ‘data’, discusses the present state of anthropological research and academic ethics/integrity in a broader perspective. It specifically gives voice to our disciplinary concerns and leads to a principled statement that clarifies a particularly ethnographic position. This position is then discussed by several commentators who treat its viability and necessity against the background of wider developments in anthropology – sustaining the original insight that in ethnography, research materials have been co‐produced before they become commoditised into ‘data’. Finally, in moving beyond such a position, the Forum broadens the issue to the point where other methodologies and forms of ownership of research materials will also need consideration.

• “I am the land and I am their witness”: placemaking amid displacement among Lumads in the Philippines

  2022

  Critical Asian Studies · DOI

  What happens to place-based, intergenerational knowledge in conditions of displacement? Here we attempt an answer to this question by reflecting on the experiences of the Indigenous peoples of Mindanao in the southern Philippines, collectively known as Lumads. For decades, Lumad communities have faced violence and displacement at the hands of the Philippine military, corporate armies, civilian militias, and rebel groups. Most accounts of Lumads portray them as passive victims who are “caught in between” warring factions of capitalists and leftists. This paper aims to augment a small but growing body of work that challenges such accounts and centers the historical agency of Lumads. In particular, we highlight some of the ways in which Lumads make life, place, and memory in the schools and community centers that they have established at three sites in Mindanao and Manila. In becoming Lumad places, these are sites in which Lumads of different ages, ethnicities, and social standings actively remake their relations with themselves, with their surroundings, and with others; they are sites of intergenerational communication and consternation; they are sites of pan-ethnic identity formation and solidarity; and they are sites of despair, repair, and potentially transformation.
