Ph.D in INDIGENOUS STUDIES
Program Description
The PhD in Indigenous Studies is a graduate program that employs interdisciplinary perspectives in engaging historical and contemporary issues confronting Indigenous Peoples in the Philippines and elsewhere. The PhD program also seeks to valorize indigenous epistemologies (ways of knowing) that have been neglected and marginalized by hegemonic scientific epistemologies.
Program Learning Outcomes
At the end of the program, graduates will be grounded in theories and frameworks to conduct research, publish, implement programs on indigenous issues, or teach. Specifically, graduates can:
- Synthesize the core issues, problems, concerns and visions of Indigenous Peoples; the nature, elements and parameters as well as the theoretical, methodological, interdisciplinary approaches and ethical considerations to Indigenous Studies;
- Produce knowledge that will benefit Indigenous Peoples and the rest of humanity; and,
- Utilize knowledge through policy advocacy, development programs/projects, education and information campaigns and/or other knowledge products and forms of actions that will positively impact Indigenous Peoples/Communities.
