Dr Stephen Acabado at UCLA

[MikeLigalig.com]

UP Diliman Anthropology alumnus (1999) Dr. Stephen Acabado has been appointed the new Director of the Center for Southeast Asian Studies of the University of the UCLA International Institute. The Filipino professor is an archaeological anthropologist whose researches focused on the archaeology of highland agricultural systems in Southeast Asia, specifically on the Ifugao agricultural terraces in Northern Philippines. Dr. Acabado's research interest is in human-environment interaction and indigenous responses to colonialism. His study on the Ifugao Rice Terraces carved in the mountains of Banaue broke new ground with its findings that the designated UNESCO World Heritage site in the Philippines should be seen as a response to the arrival of the Spanish in the northern Philippine highlands instead of the more well-known belief that it is a 2,000-year-old creation of indigenous people. - source_ UP FB Page
