VISION
Our vision is to utilize our knowledge and personal experiences by building a space to exercise our power and understand our relationships with ourselves, each other, and our world. In the face of hundreds of years of colonialism, we reclaim our hxstories and envision the creation of a world free of racism, sexism, ableism, transphobia, homophobia, xenophobia, and all forms of oppression By using Filipinx Studies, we will reflect on the importance of our stories and be able to use the tools we have gained to name and transform the world as we liberate ourselves from the chains of oppression. . By the end of this course, we will have a critical perspective on the world by using the tools we learn and learning from each other’s narratives to reflect on sacred interconnectedness.
INTENTION
This course will fulfill its mission by using Filipinx Studies as a way to engage in critical thinking, provide humanizing dialogue, and develop a space for collective healing. By learning about our collective hxstories and sharing these experiences with one another, we can begin the process of reclaiming our stories and communicating what our communities need to heal.
