Copley Library and the Filipino Ugnayan Student Organization (FUSO) celebrate Filipino American History Month with Dr. Allison Tintiangco-Cubales, a distinguished professor in the College of Ethnic Studies at the San Francisco State University.  She founded the Pin@y Educational Partnerships (PEP), a “barangay” that offers Ethnic Studies courses, develops radical educators, and supports marginalized communities. She also co-founded and directs Community Responsive Education (CRE), a national firm that supports responsive, equitable, and justice-driven educators. Dr. Tintiangco-Cubales has produced works like Larry the Musical and The Art of Work Film, both set to premiere in 2024. She has published several books and a wide array of articles that focus on developing ethnic studies curriculum and community-responsive pedagogy, Motherscholarship, and Pinayism. She has received several university and community awards for her work with youth and service learning, including the 2006 Distinguished Young Alumnus Award from UCLA and the 2008 Faculty Award for Community Service Learning and recently received the 2010 Distinguished Faculty Award, one of the highest awards given to faculty for her service. She recently received the Community Advocate Award from the Critical Educators for Social Justice SIG of the American Educational Research Association. She was also recently named one of the 100 most influential Filipina women in the world by the Filipina Women’s Network.

This event is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served.
