Dr. Tolosa is a Professor of Political Science and Associate Dean for the Core Curriculum,
Loyola Schools, Ateneo de Manila University. He also teaches in the Department of
Economics and the Development Studies Program of which he was the founding Director.
He received his A.B. in Economics (Honors Program) magna cum laude from the Ateneo de
Manila University, his M.A. in Development Studies from the University of East Anglia as a
British Council scholar, and his Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of Minnesota
as a Fulbright-MacArthur scholar.
His scholarly research and public intellectual work are deeply connected with his teaching
and university/community service. His academic interests are in the fields of Politics and
Development; Global Political Economy and Governance; Comparative Ideologies;
Generations and Social Change; Religion, Social Formation, and Democratization. They
inform his work in youth sociopolitical education and leadership formation. His teaching
and research are inspired by his engagement with student organizations, Church-based
groups, and civil society movements. He hopes these reflections support the building of
democratic institutions by helping create both intellectual frames for sociopolitical analysis
and concrete options for political engagement.
