Nov 10, 2023

In this episode, host Francine Barchett sits down to interview Dr. Nina Baker Capistrano to unpack her lecture "Reinscribing P’u-tuan in the Metanarrative of Early Southeast Asia." During their discussion, Dr. Capistrano describes the significance and implications of material evidence from P'u-tuan and neighboring cultures, which grant us insight into early interregional connectivities. She also calls for the need to study marginalized, pre-colonial Filipino cultures, especially the P'u-tuan.
