PEP's Vision:  PEP’s vision is to create educational spaces where Ethnic Studies and Filipina/x/o American Studies are utilized as a means to support the liberation, humanization, and wellness of students, teachers, and the communities in which they belong.  PEP’s purpose is to promote the values of Ethnic Studies:  hope, love, respect, critical consciousness, and both self-actualization/determination and community actualization/ determination.  In our classrooms, we practice the principles of Ethnic Studies.

This course matters because through the use of Ethnic Studies it helps students prepare to not only help with their own wellness, but also for the wellness of their community. Ethnic Studies provides them with the knowledge and skills to practice with what they learn in the classroom from the lessons they learn.

This course matters because rarely do students have the opportunity to contextualize their daily lived experiences within the history they inherit and actively create. When students are able to see/feel themselves as a part of something bigger than themselves, they can understand better the role that they play in achieving liberation not only for themselves but also for their ancestors and descendants.

This course matters because it teaches us that WE matter. This is course is important because we learn and teach about ourstories and our ancestories (whoa, I just made that up). The purpose of this course is to learn about who we are, how to build community, and how to think critically about what is happening in the world. The problem it is trying to solve is the many years or colonialism that has forced us to unlearn and have to reclaim what is ours. This course is connected to PEP's vision because it embodies Ethnic Studies with an emphasis on Filipina/x/o American history—it not only is a course but a way of living.

This course will fulfill its vision by prioritizing student wellness and understanding over rigidity of content itself. Our curriculum and the way we move throughout this class are fluid and adaptable to the needs of the students. We can help students practice wellness and engage deeply in the learning process simultaneously by modeling vulnerability - attending to our own bodily/spiritual needs and showing compassion in our "mistakes"/learnings.
