Call Time
Presenters must log in at least 30 minutes before their panel, though they may of course attend the other sessions. This early start can help you get settled and address any technical issue.
Renaming Your Zoom Profile
Sometime before the conference, please log in to the Zoom website, go to Profile, and click "Edit" to rename yourself thus: P1 Amy Peralta. P1 means Panel 1, and so on. This will help the conference team to identify you more easily and anytime during the webinar.
Introduction of Panelists
The moderators/ emcees will introduce each panelist before playing the recording of his/her presentation.
During the Presentations
The conference staff will play your pre-recorded presentation, but we do ask that you have it (both the file of presentation and the video) on hand and be ready to screen-share, just in case the conference staff encounters a technical difficulty. We hope it doesn't come to this, but you'll never know.
In-Webinar Communications Outside Zoom
We will use the Zoom chat feature as much as possible to send messages to all presenters, so kindly monitor the chat window as often as you can. However, the Chat window can sometimes get too crowded, and it may be difficult to backread.
Thus, please always be on the lookout for email announcements (to be sent to your Zoom email address). Also, you may also wish contact us via Facebook Messenger (https://www.facebook.com/upasiancenter) or via Google Hangout (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) or just email the conference secretariat.
The conference team is also exploring online websites to facilitate in-webinar communications and interactions with the audience. Please expect updates soon.

KEYNOTE ADDRESS
Shifting the Entrepôt Paradigm: Local Agents and Indigenous Voices in the Making of Manila’s Global Connections, ca. 16th-18th Century
Dr. Birgit Tremml-Werner, Linnaeus University, Sweden
In recent decades, a rich body of scholarship has demonstrated that Manila was more than just a trans-shipment port. Studies on far-reaching intra-Asian, Austronesian, and trans-Pacific connections have posed a challenge to narratives of both galleon-centricity and irrational colonial governance. Yet, there continues to exist an overemphasis on actors and processes reaching the Philippines from abroad, while both indigenous agency and colonial policies are rendered secondary to the course of events. However, from the sixteenth century onwards, a long list of ‘connectors’ including among many others ‘mestizo de sangley’-interpreters, provincial parish priests, colonial officials, indigenous chiefs, localized foreign residents, indigenous allies, beatas, and Spanish women, were at the heart of local and global projects. Zooming in on such local agents opens up new vistas for a nuanced global history of a connected archipelago.
