DC Diary: Week 6 at the LoC

June 4, 2018, Monday Attended a talk sponsored by the US-Philippines Society and Asia Foundation, “Marawi Siege: A One-Year Assessment” at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace on Massachusetts Avenue in the morning. It looks like the reconstruction and rehabilitation efforts of the Philippine government for Marawi leave a lot to be desired; also it […]

DC Diary – Week 5 at the LOC

May 29, 2018, Tuesday It was a rainy Memorial Day yesterday! Attended a meeting on Suffrage for most of the day with Carroll, Kim, Janice, and Naomi at the Manuscript Division to look over the list of items for the second section, on the New Generation. But first we had to go through the most […]

DC Diary – Week 4 at the LoC

May 21, 2018, Monday Compared the lists of suffragists in Linda Ford’s Iron-Jawed Angels: The Suffrage Militancy of the National Woman’s Party 1912-1920 and Doris Stevens’ Jailed for Freedom: American Women Win the Vote. Both have 168 names, the names I think of those who were tried, convicted, and imprisoned for up to seven months. […]

DC Diary – Week 3 at the LoC

May 7, 2018, Monday 10:00 AM. Writing this on Tuesday because I did not go to the Adams Building at all yesterday. Instead, I went to the Jefferson Library to start working on Janice’s assignment for me, to check on a cover illustration of the January 1915 issue of The Suffragist where a dark-skinned, naked […]

DC Diary

Fortunately I was asked by my supervisor at the Interpretive Programs Office, Carroll Johnson-Welsh, to keep a diary of my three-month internship at the Library of Congress. So I have a means of documenting at least the first half of my Museum Studies fellowship for the Asian Cultural Council. Will update this weekly on the […]

Women Writers, Women Writing

Binasa sa unang Kapihan Session ukol sa “Art and the Domestic” ng Ateneo Fine Arts Department at Ateneo Heights tampok ang Gantala Press, Pebrero 24, 2018. Alam natin ang kasaysayan: Ang mga babae ay matagal na nasa tinatawag na positions of power — bilang babaylan o keeper of memory at storyteller, o bilang manunulat na […]

Curating and Social Change
