In collaboration with the UST Faculty of Arts
and Letters and the National Historical Commission of the Philippines, the
Philippine Historical Association (PHA) will celebrate its 60th
anniversary by sponsoring an international conference themed Historical
Education in Asia: Issues and Challenges on August 27-29, 2015 at the University
of Santo Tomas, Manila, Philippines.
Historical education, a broad field of research and
learning which includes the teaching of history, harnessing historical thinking
skills, training in historiography and dissemination of historical knowledge
should be given priority in this fast changing world. In the age of
globalization and with the ASEAN integration in 2015, historical education both
in the local and regional levels require a convergence of ideas from historians,
teachers, researchers and various practitioners related to the field of
history.
In this regard, we would like to invite your
school’s history/social science educators to attend this conference. Deadline
for pre-registration (with discount) is on June 30, 2015.
Please take note
that there will be a short welcome program in the afternoon of August 26 at the
UST Civil Law lobby for early registration and distribution of conference kit.
Also we would like to encourage conference participants to wear Filipiniana on
August 27 for the opening ceremonies.
The conference
program and other details are attached for your reference.
