Prof. Nestor Castro
(CSSP)—Four faculty members of the College of Social Sciences and Philosophy (CSSP) were awarded the Writing Fellowship for Academic Year 2008-2009, namely: Teresa S. Encarnacion Tadem, Ph.D. (Political Science); Nestor T. Castro; Ph.D. (Anthropology); Aldrin Lee (Linguistics) and Eric Manalastas (Psychology).
Fellows are given a few months to write journal articles to enhance teaching and research in the academic community. The CSSP launched its Writing Fellowships in the summer of 2007.
Nestor T. Castro, an Associate Professor at the CSSP’s Department of Anthropology, was chosen for his proposed study, Understanding Deaf Culture in the Philippines. The paper aims to look at the phenomenon of deafness as ethnicity and seeks to examine how the Deaf establish an “imagined community” by looking at their experiences. Castro will use his observations gathered while participating in the activities of the Deaf as evidence. Some of these activities are sign language classes, bilingual church services, film festivals for the hearing-impaired and the Deaf MTV. The paper will discuss the unique identity of the Filipino Deaf Community and will illustrate how it is set apart from other members of the Philippine society by looking at their distinct language and culture. Castro claimed should deafness be considered as “contributory” to culture-making, there is a need to re-examine the traditional notions of the language, community, ethnicity and culture.
Castro joined the University in 1989 as Instructor at the CSSP’s Department of Anthropology, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in Anthropology, cum laude, his masters (1994) and doctoral (2005) degrees. He received his permanent appointment as Assistant Professor in March 1998.
His most recent research and scholarly works include Ethnographic Profile of Ethnic Enclaves in Metro Manila (OVCRD-UP Diliman); Review of the Indigenous Peoples Rights Safeguards System (World Bank-Manila); and Socio-political Audit and Community Risk Assessment of the Tampakan Project (Monkey Forest Consulting). While teaching, Castro has also published a number of scholarly work including, Transforming Forest Ancestral Domains to Eco-Tourism Zones: Cases in the Philippines; In Yekti Maunati, et al Towards Sustainable Development in Southeast Asia: From Forest Management to Eco-tourism; and Kapangyarihan, Awtoridad, at Moralidad sa Imnajbu.
Castro is the Associate Dean for Administration and External Affairs and is also involved with Social Sciences and Philosophy Research Foundation (SSPRF) as the acting officer for Finance.
