ROUNDTABLE 1: History, Theories, and Prospects of Philippine Studies as a Discipline
Discussion Questions
-
What do you think is the relevance of Philippine Studies in the age of globalization, and how can we situate this relevance within the context of the ongoing global health emergency?
-
In this age of globalization, should we jettison theories, approaches, and paradigms which, rightly or wrongly, purportedly border on the essentialist and nativist problematizing of Philippine culture and society? How about foreign theories? Should they be abandoned in the name of indigeneity and nationalism?
-
What are the prospects for Philippine Studies in the digital era? What are the challenges?
-
Considering that Filipinos have become, by some accounts, a diasporic people, what is the importance of Philippine Studies with respect to Filipino migrant communities? What is the role of these migrant communities in promoting Philippine Studies?
-
How can Philippine Studies help promote inclusivity? Has it really helped address some of the social ills that have beset the country? How?
-
