Dr Sarah Tiffin spoke at a Politics of Arts in Southeast Asia seminar on the depictions of the ruins of Java by British artists. In particular, the seminar examined the illustrations of ruined Hindu and Buddhist candis which appeared in the book by Sir Stamford Raffles, The History of Java (1817), and how the depiction and production of these illustrations reveal his aspirations for British imperial rule in the region.

“The Second Duterte Presidency?” by Malcolm Cook
The next presidential election scheduled for May 2022 could see a historic first in the Philippines. A first that would reaffirm and reproduce the most powerful and debilitating continuity of Philippine democracy. 2022 could well see Sara Duterte succeed her father as president. While conventional practice at the local and provincial level, no Philippine president has been succeeded by a family member. In 2010, Benigno Aquino III followed in his mother’s footsteps and became president, eighteen years after Corazon Aquino’s single six-year presidential term ended.
