With a spotlight on Mindanao histories, the 45th edition of the National Conference on Local and National History is going to be held at the Mindanao State University-Iligan Institute of Technology (MSU-IIT) from October 24 to 26.
This Philippine National Historical Society (PNHS) annual event is supported by the Committee on Historical Research of the National Commission for Culture and the Arts, National Historical Commission of the Philippines, Philippine Social Science Council, and the Bangsamoro Commission for the Preservation of Cultural Heritage.
This year’s event, themed “People’s Stories,” encourages “inclusive presentations that deal with accounts or stories of persons and their communities in relation to various historical conditions of the Philippines,” said the PNHS
It “particularly encouraged presentations on issues related to Mindanao, such as the Moro Wars, the environment, new prospects, and issues bridging the Philippines to larger Asian contexts, such as relations with its neighbors in Southeast Asia and mainland Asia.”
The presentations include an array of papers on Mindanao, Visayas, Luzon, and the general historical topics.
