Stories about teaching in Ateneo, DLSU, UP | Ambeth Ocampo Revealed (with Lance Cham)

Welcome to part 1 of the "Academia Series" of Ambeth Revealed hosted by Lance Cham! In this conversation, Ambeth Ocampo looks back at his colorful years teaching across the country’s top three universities (La Salle, UP, and Ateneo). He recalls how his first real job at La Salle came from necessity: “I ran away from home and needed work” In UP, he learned how a single subject can shift depending on where it’s taught: “In La Salle, Rizal was history. In UP, it was literature.” And in Ateneo — his longest academic home — Ambeth reflects on 25 years of teaching and what keeps him inside the classroom: the questions that never run out, the students who always surprise him, and confronting the challenge of moving historical education beyond rote memorization.
