Ruth Pison, Professor of English and Comparative Literature (University of the Philippines, Diliman) joined YCAR as a Research Collaboration Fellow this October. Dr. Pison’s research on Philippine dance is informed by discourses of postcoloniality, nationalism and contemporary and regional cultures. While at York, she will be working with Patrick Alcedo (Dance) on a publication based on archival research they conducted together on Philippine folk dance in the colonial era. Welcome Dr. Pison!
