• Analyze concepts such as race and racism, racialization, ethnicity, equity, ethno-centrism, eurocentrism, white supremacy, self-determination, liberation, decolonization, sovereignty, imperialism, settler colonialism, and anti-racism as they are articulated in Filipinx American Studies and Asian American Studies.
• Critically review how struggle, resistance, racial and social justice, solidarity, and liberation, as experienced and enacted by Filipinx Americans are relevant to current and structural political issues such as immigration, settler-colonialism, language policies, and the division of labor at communal, national, international, and transnational scales.
