FANHS Santa Clara Chapter (California): "Kuwentuhan Ng Kalsada: If Our Streets Could Talk" 10/03/2020

In this session, speakers will explore with the audience on how to curate their own city experience taking elements learned by the FANHS Seattle Exposure Trip. We will share how our own personal narratives and purpose led to why we embarked on creating this trip for the younger generation of Filipino Americans. A dialogue will take place to instill the significance of sharing personal stories and their impact on a place and era. Each narrative ties into the overall fabric of Filipinos in American history.

MT @fanhs_national We are excited to share the latest issue of the FANHS Journal (Vol 10, 2020) under its new co-editors, #FANHS Trustees, Dr. Terese Guinsatao Monberg and Dr. Patricia Espiritu Halagao. @patriciahalagao This Special Issue, "Collaborating with our Ancestors," pays tribute to the memory and work of our previous editor, Virgilio R. Pilapil, MD, (1938 - 2019), who edited the journal for 25 years. The editors highlight Gil's enduring legacy as a community-based historian and editor in shaping the FANHS Journal and FANHS research more broadly. By analyzing GilÊ»s work across place and time, the editors hope to use this issue as a model for the kinds of content they are looking for in the future. We hope you will join us in continuing the legacy of FANHS Journal Editor, Virgilio Pilapil, M.D.

Due to the generosity of FANHS National and other donors, we are able to make this Special issue freely available. Please download a PDF copy of the journal or click on E-publication book. A limited number of hard copies are available for purchase for $25 + mailing costs. For more information and publication guidelines, contact FANHSjournal@gmail.com. Please help us promote FANHS and the FANHS Journal by sharing widely.

The FANHS Journal is an interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed journal published by FANHS. The journal is published biennially (one volume every other year) with the aim to eventually publish one volume every year. The goal of the journal is to promote the mission of FANHS by publishing, disseminating, and promoting research related to Filipino American history. The journal publishes research by community-based and academic historians as well as personal histories. It is looking to expand its genres and dialogues through new journal sections like "Collaborating with Our Ancestors" where there are intergenerational conversations between authors of today and classic pieces.

Watch: bit.ly/FANHSbridgegen 

* On October 1st, the e-zine Positively Filipino featured “The Bridge Generation,” with FANHS speakers --  Auntie Dorothy Laigo Cordova, Founding and forever volunteer FANHS Executive Director;  Peter Jamero,  Founding FANHS National Vice president Emeritus; and Vangie Buell, FANHS National President Emerita – all “national treasures” as Uncle Fred Cordova (RIP, 2013) would have said. They were on fire – as bold, articulate, and passionate as ever-  during the panel that everyone should see/hear. We thank Positively Filipino for posting the webinar, facilitated by Lloyd LaCuesta, on their YouTube channel.
