Call for Submissions: Katitikan Issue 5: Writes and Rights

Katitikan provides a platform for both Southern voices as traditionally understood in the scholarship, but also about scholarship that engages with the idea of the Philippines as a discourse on the South.

For the upcoming issue, Katitikan aims to explore the many intersections of writing and social justice in the Philippines. From issues of human rights, social inequalities, political unrest, to stories of resilience, empowerment, and triumph. In this issue, possible themes to explore may include but not limited to advocacy for human rights and social issues, resistance against oppression and inequality, empowerment of marginalized voices and communities, reflections on current events and issues affecting the country, and representations of hope, resilience, and transformation.
