Title: Talcott Parsons Comes to Campus: A Marcos Dictatorship Think Tank and the University of the Philippines
Speaker: ABINALES, Patricio Nunez（Visiting Research Scholar, CSEAS）
Discussant: Takagi Yusuke（GRIPS）
Abstract:
The lecture looks at the brief history of the Presidential Center for Advanced Studies (PCAS) a high think tank-cum-academic institution imposed by the Marcos dictatorship on the University of the Philippines (UP) in 1973. It examines PCAS’s grand plan to educate and orient a new generation of cadres under its “Cultural Liberation Program” who would then help bring about the “new Filipino collective will” that the dictator had dreamt about.
