Our interdisciplinary reading group is committed to fostering meaningful connections between academic discussions and community action. This page is a space where we highlight initiatives, events, and collaborations that connect our interdisciplinary explorations with real-world issues, particularly those impacting Filipino and broader transnational communities.
By sharing these stories, we aim to amplify diverse perspectives and inspire others to reflect on the ways scholarship can engage with real-world challenges. Below are some of the members’ community engagements.
