In my thesis, I say that a favorite Tagalog word is "unawa" or to understand. Root word: "awa", meaning "mercy", "pity", or "compassion". "Unawa" recognizes that understanding is inseparable from compassion. We seek to understand out of care. We care and thus seek to understand.

Why is the media giving so much weight to a business tycoon's opinion on flooding in a site where he has a vested interest. How about, oh I don't know, actual flood experts and people who are about to lose their homes and livelihoods?

Managed to catch up with a Manila Bay fisherfolk gatekeeper. Was told they're being offered P15k/$270 each to destroy their baklad/fish corrals. +35k/$630 each additional if no fish corral in area of interest is left standing. Can anyone else confirm? Such dirty inhumane tactics.

@jecondraysbak Research in PH is also limited by a global system of knowledge production. Global North academics controlling research budgets & agenda are viewed as elite creators of theory produced from the labor of Global South research proletariat extracting raw data on the former's behalf.

Hello, social science Twitter! Has anyone here tried creative ways to introduce the concepts of "positionality" and "reflexivity" to undergrads? I normally create groups and ask them to share experiences but perhaps I can push it further.

In critical scholarship "Global South" denotes people/spaces systematically subject to the violence of capitalist expansion. Not simply a synonym for "developing countries." Why naming a capitalist icon e.g. a mall "Global South" is esp ignorant, ironic, even cruel. More info👇

"No such thing as a natural disaster" is NOT my personal opinion. It is based on decades of scientific research & evidence. Those claiming to be disaster experts should at the very least know the difference between "hazard"& "disaster." Hazard=COVID-19, disaster=global pandemic.+

Sponge cities as an urban flood management method: "... it's all about giving water space and creating conditions so that it can be absorbed back into the earth, instead of flowing into channels, pipes or streets."

Tweet card media

Making cities 'spongy' could help fight flooding — by steering the water underground

Almost all of China's medium and large cities are susceptible to floods. Some experts are promoting a solution called sponge cities — urban landscapes that are softer and meant to absorb more water.

All humans are capable of "culture", of making meaning based on our sociopolitical positions. The idea that some have "more culture" than others is a reductive view weaponised by oppressors to justify colonisation (eg White Man's Burden). We owe it to ourselves to stop using it.
