The Critical Filipina and Filipino Studies Collective is currently building a comprehensive website offering pedagogical, scholarly, and community resources to all those invested in a critical Filipina/o studies framework. The collective invites submission of any material that resonates with the mission of the collective to organize educators and scholars to interrogate and challenge histories of Western imperialisms (both Spanish and U.S.), ongoing neocolonial relations in the Philippines, and their relationship to past and present Filipina/o migrations through our research and teaching both within the university and beyond it.

This project is an endeavor to make accessible research and other forms of scholarly work outside of the spaces of the university and academic publishing. It is our hope to create a public commons of knowledge grounded by an anti-imperial praxis. These submissions can range from papers, panels, syllabi, lesson plans, assignments, workshops, etc. to be published on the CFFSC website at www.cffstudies.org. For specific requirements, please see each category below. The collective asks that material be submitted to the designated person and email address or consideration by August 15, 2014.

Papers & Publications
CFFSC offers a space to circulate written work that resonates with its mission. Article-length work is preferred but not required; all lengths and formats will be considered. If previously unpublished, please submit file as a Word Document. If already published, please provide web address to the appropriate database or to author’s institutional page, and we will publish link. Please also provide a 150-word abstract, list of keywords, and a brief author’s bio if not already included. All submissions and questions can be directed to Dr. Valerie Francisco at valeriefrancisco@gmail.com.

Pedagogical Resources
The collective welcomes any form of teaching material dealing with Filipino American Studies. This may range from university and college syllabi, assignments, and project prompts to K-12 lesson plans to material by community-based educational initiatives. We ask all submissions to be in the form of a Word Document and to be accompanied by a 150-word description of the context of the material, i.e. whether for an Asian American Studies course, high school conference, community workshop, etc. Please also include a brief author’s bio or organizational description if needed. All submissions and questions can be directed to Dr. Amanda Solomon Amorao at alsolomon@ucsd.edu.

Scholarly Bios
CFFSC seeks brief biographies of all scholars and educators who have been or are currently members of the collective. If you have participated in a CFFSC Symposium, National Assembly, co-authored publication, or public project, please send your brief bio to be published on the site or any questions you may have to Dr. Michael Viola at viola.michael@gmail.com.
