Challenges and Possibilities of Philippine Studies in a Turbulent World
Situating Question and Questioning Positionality

This symposium aims to provide a space to consider what questions Philippine Studies can raise in today’s turbulent and unsettled world, and how Philippine Studies itself might be critically examined. At the same time, it seeks to offer an opportunity to reflect on our own positionalities as those who pose questions, to shift these positions in subtle ways, and to engage in dialogue by moving between and across one another’s standpoints.
