The conference features a combination of paper presentations and fieldwork. The first two days will be dedicated to plenary sessions and paper presentations, providing a platform for in-depth discussions on key themes. Following the conference, from Days 3 to 6, participants will embark on a fieldwork excursion in Northern Philippines, exploring the provinces of Pangasinan and La Union in the Ilocos Region, as well as Benguet in the Cordillera Administrative Region. Carefully selected key areas that exemplify diverse rural economies across various environmental settings will serve as focal points for engaging conversations on rural spatialities.
