The Pilipino Studies minor produces graduates competent in histories and contemporary experiences of Filipinos in the U.S. and elsewhere in the world. Student understanding of historical and contemporary histories of Filipinos is grounded in questions of equality, social justice, and disparity, which supply a vocabulary and critical thinking skills necessary to engage with issues including class, cultural production, gender, identity formation, labor, migration, and representation. The minor consists of broad courses that study national and diasporic identities as a social formation rather than an innate and unchanging biological assignation. As an interdisciplinary field, Pilipino studies draws from American studies, anthropology, Asian studies, Asian American studies, ethnic studies, history, literary and performance studies, Philippine studies, and sociology.
