Working with Indigenous Communities in the Philippines - Ep 72

On today's episode, Jessica speaks with Dr. Oona Paredes, Associate Professor of Southeast Asian Studies in the Department of Asian Languages and Cultures at UCLA. Oona discusses her understanding of Indigenous Peoples growing up in the Philippines and how her work with the Higaunon Lumad of northern Mindanao has directly challenged those early beliefs. She also describes how Western concept of Indigeneity doesn’t cleanly fit in the context of Southeast Asia. She discusses how she and the the Higaunon Lumad communities she works with have jointly shaped their work together and her vision for this work moving forward.

Language, Community, and Context - Ep 51

Today’s podcast features Dr. Jenny Davis, a citizen of the Chickasaw Nation and an Associate Professor of Anthropology and American Indian Studies at the University of Illinois, Urbaana-Champaign. She is the director of the American Indian Studies Program and the 2019-2023 Chancellor's Fellow of Indigenous Research & Ethics. We get in depth on language revitalization, including the importance of context, resources for people interested in language revitalization, the challenge of evaluating results, and how the way we frame discussions of language revitalizations matters. Finally, we talk about how language intersects first with gender and sexuality and also with NAGPRA and repatriation.
