SPEAKERS
Plenary Speaker
Professor Reynaldo Ileto is Professor of Southeast Asian Studies at the National University of Singapore. Prior to this, he was Reader at Australia National University in Canberra. Ileto, a graduate of Cornell University, was a student of anthropologist James Siegel. His Pasyon and Revolution (1979), widely recognized as one of the seminal texts of Southeast Asian history, and his percipient essays collected in Filipinos and Their Revolution (1998), have earned for Ileto international recognition as the leader of Philippine historical studies and a pioneer of the burgeoning field of Filipino diasporic studies.1st Roundtable, History
