Bio/Research Statement:
My area of interest is in archives, visual representation and collective memory of leprosy in a former segregation colony in the Philippines. Aside from a Ph.D. in Information, I am also in two graduate certificate programs: 1) the Science, Technology and Society (STS), and 2) Museum Studies. Before coming to SI, I was an assistant professor of archives and library science at the University of the Philippines (UP) School of Library and Information Studies and the museum archivist of the UP Vargas Museum.
Current Research:
Exploring the role of visual archives in representing, remembering and understanding leprosy, its relationship with the formation and propagation of stigma and its context within the wider discourse of social memory of the disease
