May Webinar: Filipino Settler Migration, American Imperial Power & the Making of the Philippines in the 20th C

CCHA Filipino Settler Migration Webinar Flyer

Join us on Thursday, May 14th, at 4:00 Eastern for our next Webinar!

Event Description:

Dr. Miller will discuss settler migration programs in the Philippines, first devised by agents of the American colonial state in the early twentieth century. State sponsored and privately funded migrations from Hispanicized low-land areas into Muslim and Indigenous spaces not only materially dispossessed Muslim and Indigenous Filipinos but established the logics of settler entitlement that have served as an alibi for extractive political economies and their attendant inequalities.

Presenter Bio:

Karen Miller is professor of History, Black Race and Ethnic Studies, and Liberal Studies at LaGuardia Community College and the Graduate Center at CUNY. A U.S. urban historian by training, her first book is Managing Inequality: Northern Racial Liberalism in Interwar Detroit. She has since turned to the scholarship of the U.S. in the World to study American empire and the Philippines. Most recently, she published an article in American Quarterly called “Agents of the Settler State”, and she co-edited an anthology with A. J. Yumi Lee, Prehistories of the War on Terror: A Critical Genealogy.

Registration Information: To register, you can click HERE, or use the QR code on the image to the right (click to enlarge) or download a copy of the flyer here.

Session Information: During the early stages of the French Revolution, many people decided that it was better to leave France than to risk what an uncertain future might bring. For those near the border. Spain was an obvious choice of refuge. For these émigrés, survival during their emigration depended on how well they could activate their extended social networks. In almost all instances, these extended social networks were managed and maintained by women. My presentation looks directly at the role of women in the survival of émigré families in the Franco-Spanish borderlands.

We are pleased to announce a webinar launching our newest report, entitled Attracting Students to the Liberal Arts Through Integrative Curricula, on October 24th.
