The University of Alcala and the Spanish Pacific Studies Association are pleased to announce the 4th European Philippine Studies Conference (Europhil) to be held in Alcala, Spain, 9-12 September 2001. Europhil is coordinated to follow directly on from the completion of the Euroseas Conference in London. The aim of Europhil is to increase the level of awareness of Philippine Studies in Europe and to enhance contact between scholars of the Philippines both within the continent and beyond. Previous successful conferences have been held in Amsterdam (1991), London (1994) and, most recently, Aix-en-Provence (1997). The thematic title of the conference is The Philippines in Southeast Asia and Beyond. While it is hoped to encourage discussion and generate debate through comparative studies of Filipino society with those of other nations and cultures within the region. Contributions from any field or topic on Philippine Studies such as politics, economic development, archaeology, gender, history, environment, are welcome. The conference's keynote speaker is Benedict Anderson. Contributors may either seek to join existing tentative panels as outlined below or, where appropriate, propose new one or conferences not related to any panel. The conference strongly encourages to put together panels on language, gender or the history of the Archipelago before contact with the West.
