LUCID Lecture Series 3: An Exploration of Structural Injustice through the System of Smallholder Corn Farming in the Upper Pulangi

The Department of Philosophy, School of Humanities, invites you to the third and final lecture of the LUCID Project lecture series, presenting the philosophical component of the LUCID Project. 

An Exploration of Structural Injustice through the System of Smallholder Corn Farming in the Upper Pulangi

Pamela Joy Mariano Capistrano

Drawing from the field research of the LUCID economics team, her own field research, and contemporary critical social theory (particularly the work of philosophers Iris Marion Young and Sally Haslanger), the lecture examines the question of what social structures drive the continued farming of genetically-modified corn among smallholder corn farmers in the Upper Pulangi watershed of Bukidnon, despite their clear economic disadvantages of farming this crop.

We hope to see you on November 29, 2022 from 5 to 6:30PM at Faber Hall (FH101), Ateneo de Manila University Loyola Heights campus.

Those joining us onsite may register through go.ateneo.edu/LUCID3 or join us via livestream on go.ateneo.edu/LucidLive
