For October, Filipino American History Month, the Asian American / Asian Research Institute is excited to uplift the voices of student researchers and activists. During this interactive workshop, attendees will hear from Gabriela Sagun, a Ph.D. Student at Duke University studying Security, Peace, and Conflict, with a focus on conflict-related violence against women in the Philippines. Gabriela will speak on the entanglements of U.S. Empire in the Philippines and Filipino-American nurses. We will then hear from Mariah Iris Ramo, Marissa Halagao and Brix Kozuki from the Filipino Curriculum Project, a youth driven activist project in Hawaii. Their course, "Filipino History Culture," is now approved by the Hawaii Department of Education (HIDOE) and will be taught in schools in Fall 2024. Attendees are encouraged to ask questions and engage with the speakers' works, and will get a chance to look through the student curriculum.
