Speaking Engagements

I am available for speaking engagements including:

  • Keynote addresses and conference presentations

  • Campus lectures and workshops

  • Course guest lectures

  • Panel discussions and moderated conversations

My talks draw from my research on political economy, agrarian studies, and world-systems theory, with particular focus on the agrarian question of the Philippines. I offer both in-person and virtual options to accommodate different needs and contexts.
