Hi everyone! I am currently writing a term paper, titled Examining Filipino family heritage expression in family tree mapping. This study is a term paper to be submitted in my PS 215: Special Course on Filipino Heritage course at the Asian Center.
My paper hopes to answer the question "How is family heritage expressed in the work of Filipinos who conduct family tree mapping?"
If you are someone who's done family tree mapping or any sort of genealogical research on your ancestors, then be part of a mini FGD for my study. This will be done remotely, via Zoom. I am looking for 3-4 more participants.
If you are interested in the study and would like to participate, feel free to send me a message here, Facebook (Jericho Daniel Igdanes), or through email (jdigdanes@up.edu.ph).
I've given myself time to digest the new #TaylorSwift record. I think if I were to rank it alongside her other albums, it would somewhere be in the bottom half...
That being said, I feel like most of my problems with the record are the track listing. While Taylor has excellent songs on every album, she could really curate the tracklist a bit better.
I made a 13-track playlist version of the album for when I get too overwhelmed by the real one.
@jcoigdanes Agree with @jikodesu. If I may add: Don't hesitate to genuinely engage with posts that interests you, either by commenting, boosting, or simply liking.
#TootSEA is a great hashtag to follow as it's a vibrant community of our neighbors in SEA. And don't limit your posts to just one or two topics. Mastodon is diverse, so you can practicallly talk about and enagage with a variety of subject matter here.
Creating lists also helps you better curate your feed. 😊
I'm working on a term paper about Filipino heritage expression and genealogy. One of the references I'm using, "Tracing Your Philippine Ancestors" by Lee W. Vance, was published in 1980. The only copy of it I can find is in the UP Diliman Main Library, and it's only for room use.
Does anyone here have any leads where I can find a copy that I can buy or browse for long periods of time?
I'll spend this semester teaching Speech 30 (Public Speaking and Persuasion) to three sections at #UPDiliman. It's still a challenge teaching students who are around my age group, but the goal is to make learning as fun as it could be.
As a graduate student of Philippine Studies, I'm taking classes on research, Philippine Society and Culture, and Philippine Cultural Heritage. It's going to be a busy five months ahead.
About halfway through R.F. Kuang's "Babel" and I think I chose the best book to get back into my reading habits. The writing style is accessible, the setting and atmosphere are gripping, and the themes are relevant.
I think this is my sign to purchase The Poppy War trilogy and Yellowface. I bought my copy of Babel a few weeks ago, when I was visiting Malaysia for a debate tournament.
The 'dark academia' vibe and the colonialism discourse make it the perfect read during my off days.
Nearly three months since graduation, and I've decided to scour through my undergraduate class papers. I'm hoping there's something here that can be turned into something greater.
Many upperclassmen and faculty members have encouraged me to try and explore the world of journals. I'll use my downtime to not just read but also learn about getting published.
This is my first time using Mastodon. I'm guessing the learning curve is going to be lengthy...
Hello to you all, I'm Jco---a grad student from the Philippines. Currently, I major in Philippine society and culture. I also teach public speaking and persuasion.
