Claudio, Associate Professor of South and Southeast Asian Studies at the University of California, Berkeley and author of , a look at how austerity, long before it became a buzzword of modern technocracy, was a tool of US empire. Claudio argues that this orthodoxy is in fact a colonial inheritance—a legacy of American rule that cast Filipinos as reckless spenders and imposed monetary discipline as a civilizing force. At the center of this logic is the "profligate colonial," a feminized, racialized figure who wastes public funds and so requires the steady hand of imperial governance.Focusing on key moments in Philippine economic history across the twentieth century, Claudio charts how austerity was first exported through empire, then domesticated in line with nationalist ambitions. Austerity became not just policy, but an ideology that transcended political divides and reshaped the boundaries of the Philippine economic imagination.Lunch will be served at 12:15 p.m.Please note that 720 University Place is not an ADA-accessible space.
