MISSION

The mission of the Journal of Filipino Studies is to publish research, theories, real world applications and literary contributions on the global Filipino experience.  The Journal envisions to bridge the gap between scholarship and practice, and to encourage critical thinking and discourse on contemporary issues and paradigms that influence the lives of Filipinos worldwide.

Materials published in the Journal include Filipino studies in various social, cultural, economic and political contexts employing methodological approaches. In addition, literary genres such as poetry in English and Filipino languages will be published.

As a vital resource for learning in a digital, knowledge-based and environmentally conscious society, the Journal is electronic and fully online. An interactive feedback system is an element of the Journal in order to encourage conversations between and among contributors, readers and editors.

AUDIENCE

The audience for the Journal of Filipino Studies includes scholars, academicians, students, political and business leaders, managers, administrators, and other individuals who seek to further their understanding and appreciation of Filipino studies.  The Journal encourages contributions from the public and private sectors, from the Philippines and the Filipino diaspora. Moreover, the Journal provides a voice for the youth with a section devoted to their contributions.
