Hundreds of musicians left the Philippines throughout the 1920s to answer the demand for dance bands in hotels, cabarets, and cruise ships along the Asia littoral.įilipino musicians have commonly been dismissed as mere mimics in histories of music and Southeast Asia, yet their proliferation suggests that these narratives of mimicry distort the ways an emerging global popular music was experienced and became meaningful in different contexts. The premier performers of this U.S.-based dance music were not Americans, however, but Filipinos.

In the decade after World War I, jazz quickly became ubiquitous across Asian port cities from Mumbai to Yokohama.

“Filipino Musical Mobilities: The Rise of the Asian Professional Jazz Musician in 1920s Colonial Asia” The social studies curriculum for students in the vocational track, in contrast, focuses almost exclusively on imparting a pre-determined body of knowledge and set of values deemed necessary for academically low-achieving students.ĭoctoral Candidate, Department of Ethnomusicology, UW-Madison The findings indicate that only the elite students have access to citizenship education that promotes democratic enlightenment and political engagement. To cater to these different citizen roles, the three programmes encompass significantly different curricular goals, content, modes of assessment, civic skills, and values. Three distinct roles can be identified: (1) elite cosmopolitan leaders (2) globally-oriented but locally-rooted mid-level executives and workers and (3) local ‘heartlander’ followers. Students are formally allocated different citizenship roles and responsibilities according to the hierarchy defined by the state. While the Singapore education system is not unique in its stratification of students into distinct educational tracks with diverse educational outcomes, it is one of the very few countries with explicitly differentiated formal national citizenship curricula for students from different educational tracks. Using Singapore as a case study, this paper examines how the discourses of democratic elitism and meritocracy help allocate different citizen roles to students and define the nature of the social studies citizenship education programmes for different educational tracks. “Sorting Citizens: Differentiated Citizenship Education in Singapore” The chapter concludes that the narratives presented in Cham manuscripts connected to Po Romé establish a uniquely Cham understanding of history as sakarai.Īssistant Professor of Social Studies Education, Department of Curriculum and Instruction, UW-Madison

The inherent co-dependent relationship between awal and ahier is thought to be the key to understanding Cham culture and the universe. Meanwhile, ahier represents the sun, masculinity and Indic oriented elements of the universe. Awal and ahier are Arabic root loan words meaning ‘first’ and ‘last.’ In Cham philosophical conceptions, awal represents the moon, femininity and Islamic oriented elements of the universe. Finally, Po Romé’s reign is credited with the re-solidification of the Cham philosophy of awal and ahier. Third, Po Romé’s reign established the luni-solar sakawi calendar that is used to bring Hindu oriented and Islamic oriented elements of Cham society together through calendar rituals and life-cycle oriented events, which always occur during ‘auspicious times’ according to the sakawi calendar. His reign also established the Cham script Akhar Thrah, still used by both Eastern and Western Cham speakers today – although variants of Arabic script also became popular. He established a peace between the warring Cham Balamon Shaivite Hindu influenced majority and Bini Islamic influenced minority. For the first time, a member of the Churu highland servant class intermarried with a Bini-Islamic influenced religious minority-Cham princess and became the ruler of the last Champa negara polity, Panduranga. This presentation begins with the argument that Po Romé’s reign was a watershed moment in the history of the Cham. “Po Romé : Champa’s First Highland Sovereign as a Watershed Moment in Cham History” Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Expand Collapseĭoctoral Candidate, Department of History, UW-Madison.Justice in Southeast Asia Lab (JSEALab).Southeast Asia Country Information and Resources.Indonesian Flagship Language Initiative (IFLI).Southeast Asian Studies Summer Institute (SEASSI).FLAS Awardees and Center Fellowships Recipients.
