The Ateneo de Manila University, through the Department of Sociology and Anthropology, provides a venue for visiting students from the National Kaohsiung University of Science and Technology to experience Metro Manila and its environs.
The Ateneo Cultural Encounters introduces students to the dynamic nature of history, sociopolitics, performing arts, markets, food cultures, and religion, among others, in everyday life, while using the concepts and ideas acquired in the program's various activities as a way of enhancing their conversational English. Initiated in 2019 but interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, the program resumed in Intersession 2023.
After a three-year break due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Development Studies Program offered its Ateneo Development Field School (ADSF) during the Intersession 2023. The ADSF is a six-unit, four-week course designed to hone students' skills in applied research, deepen their understanding of a development issue, and allow them to contribute to social development.
Led by Dr. Mark Abenir, Associate Professor at the Development Studies Program, the ADSF was held from June 19 to July 14, 2023 with the Gawad Kalinga (GK) St Joseph community in Cabiao, Nueva Ecija, and GK Ateneo.

Visual Cultures of Consumption: An exhibit preview
New Consumer Cultures in the Global South brings together a team of researchers from different parts of the world to study the cultural consequences of economic change among people who have traditionally been categorized as ‘urban poor’ in four cities: Guangzhou, China; Metro Manila, Philippines, Mexico City, Mexico; and São Paulo, Brazil. Funded by the Australian Research Council, the project makes use of interviews, photographs, and archival research to understand how consumer cultures have changed across these different countries of Asia and the Americas.

Ateneo de Manila University's Field School on Cultural Heritage
Ateneo de Manila University's Field School on Cultural Heritage
Run by the Department of Sociology and Anthropology of the Loyola School of Social Sciences, this annual field school seeks to do the following: 1) introduce students, whether undergraduate or graduate, whether domestic or international to the value of cultural heritage by documenting a specific aspect of a community’s cultural heritage, 2) teach qualitative methods of research relevant to the study of heritage, and 3) partner with particular communities in incorporating cultural heritage in their development agenda. Students recently worked with communities on projects such as studying the weaving ways of cotton textile-makers in Vigan and documenting foodways in two Cebu municipalities. Students earn six credits at the end of the Intersession. The field school was originally called the Ateneo Cultural Laboratory, then the Ateneo Social and Cultural Laboratory, and now the Cultural Heritage Studies Field School. This year's field school was held in Tuguegarao with students studying the role of fishing in the everyday world of Cagayan Valley.

The Ateneo Korean Studies Program successfully hosted the 3rd Conference on Korean Studies in Maritime Southeast Asia last May 31, 2023, with the theme ‘Locating Korea in Post-COVID Urbanscapes in Southeast Asia: Emerging (Dis)Connections and Cultural Exchanges.’
Following the success of the first two conferences on ‘Emerging Convergences Across the Seas,’ and ‘Korean Studies Research and Pedagogy,’ the third conference brought together studies that re-visit Korea’s presence in the region’s diverse urbanscapes. In particular, it shed light on emerging (dis)connections and new patterns of intercultural exchanges between Korea and Southeast Asia shaped within and by post-COVID cities and localities in Indonesia, the Philippines and Malaysia. With the aim of creating research synergy within the region, the conference also included an information session on current Korea-based research on Southeast Asia and an awarding ceremony for the recipients of the Korean Studies Graduate Research and Publication Awards, supported by the Academy of Korean Studies.
The Ateneo Korean Studies Program is at the forefront of expanding Korean Studies in Maritime Southeast Asia – a region with rising economic potential where Korean communities, industries, and investments continue to grow, but whose contribution to the globalization of Korean Studies lacks significant recognition. Through its conferences, it hopes to promote Korean Studies scholarship from diverse Southeast Asian perspectives and encourage critical dialogue on relevant issues important to both Korea and the region.
