Conférence de Grace Nono « Where Have All the Waters Gone ? »
Conférence organisée par la section de filipino.
Dr. Grace Nono, ethnomusicologist and interdisciplinary scholar will examine the interactions between a fishing community with members increasingly abandoning traditional values and practices, and wetlands undergoing intensified desertification due to development. Based on engagement spanning years with a wetland community in Mindanao, southern Philippines, the talk looks at divergent approaches to conservation and explores culture-based approaches to reclaiming healthy relationships with lands and waters.
