MSU IIT Department of History

🤝 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗕𝗔 𝗛𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺 𝗧𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 📖

The Department of History is opening the final stretch of its Program Learning Outcomes (PLO) revision to the very people it is meant to serve.

After months of consultation, SWOT analysis, and committee deliberation, the BA History program has narrowed its learning outcomes down to five — each one shaped by what our students, alumni, partner institutions, and the wider community have told us they need from a history education today. But a curriculum is only as good as the people who live it, so before these outcomes are finalized, we want to hear from you directly.

Join us for the 𝗕𝗔 𝗛𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗖𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘂𝗹𝘂𝗺 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀' 𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗻 𝟭𝟯 𝗔𝘂𝗴𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲, 𝟵:𝟬𝟬 𝗔𝗠–𝟭𝟮:𝟬𝟬 𝗣𝗠 𝘃𝗶𝗮 𝗭𝗼𝗼𝗺, where the department will walk through the proposed PLOs and open the floor for questions, pushback, and refinement. This is especially an invitation to our current and prospective students — the outcomes on the table describe the historian you're being trained (or hoping) to become, and your voice belongs in that conversation just as much as any employer's or partner's. Alumni, industry partners, and community collaborators are, of course, warmly welcome as well.

A program that teaches historical inquiry ought to practice it — testing its own claims against evidence, and revising them in dialogue with the people who hold a stake in the outcome. That's what this meeting is for.

"Hinubog ng Bayan, Dinuyan ng Alon"

The Department of History, College of Arts and Social Sciences, MSU-IIT joins the nation in celebrating History Month this August, guided by this year's theme from the National Historical Commission of the Philippines.

Hinubog ng Bayan, Dinuyan ng Alon speaks to a nation shaped by its people even as it is carried and tested by the currents of history—a fitting image for a country whose story has always been written between the shore and the sea, between what is built and what is weathered.

This year's celebration also falls within the Dekada ng Kasaysayan ng Pilipinas (2023–2033), a decade-long call to keep discovering—"Patuloy sa Pagtuklas"—the many histories that make up who we are as Filipinos.

Throughout August, watch this page for activities and features from the Department as we mark History Month together with our faculty, and the MSU-IIT Historical Society (MIHS).

Kasaysayan. Kinabukasan. Kasama.

𝑨𝒅 𝑴𝒂𝒋𝒐𝒓𝒆𝒎—𝒈𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒓, 𝒂𝒍𝒘𝒂𝒚𝒔.

The Historical Society proudly celebrates Batch Majorem's excellence and extends its deepest and warmest congratulations to our graduating class for their dedication, perseverance, and pursuit of excellence. The Class of 2026 stands as proof that excellence is not a singular undertaking but a history of choices. May your next chapter be worthy of the story you have already written.

Call for Papers: The Memory and Afterlives of Conflict in Mindanao
Philippine Studies: Historical and Ethnographic Viewpoints

In 1968, Moro recruits in Corregidor were killed by their own military handlers in an episode that came to be known as the Jabidah Massacre. Conventionally read as the catalyst for the modern Mindanao conflict, its approaching sixtieth anniversary in 2028 offers an occasion to take a wider view. Over the ensuing decades, how has Mindanao remembered its long century of war, displacement, and contested peace? This special issue of Philippine Studies: Historical and Ethnographic Viewpoints (PSHEV) gathers scholars and practitioners to map that memorial terrain.

Mindanao is a place where several histories overlap on the same ground. Moro, Lumad, Christian settler, and state communities carry distinct and often incompatible accounts of the same events, formed through commemoration and silence; through official memory and vernacular transmission; through monuments, rituals, archives, and textbooks; and increasingly, through digital media. This special issue asks how those memories are made and unmade, who is authorized to remember and who is compelled to forget, and what is politically at stake in the answers. Jabidah’s anniversary arrives at a charged moment, with the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region past its first electoral transition and a generation with no direct memory of the war now coming of age, which makes the question of what gets transmitted, ratified, and left to lapse an urgent one.

Memory studies and the scholarship on the Mindanao conflicts have each expanded over recent decades, yet they rarely intersect. The critical frameworks of memory studies have seldom been applied comprehensively across Moro, Lumad, settler, and state registers in Mindanao, even as the archival and ethnographic materials to do so are increasingly available. Bridging this disciplinary divide is the animating aim of this special issue, which seeks to draw the field’s disparate strands into a unified conversation.
We invite abstracts that engage the memorial dimensions of conflict, peace, and dictatorship in Mindanao from across the humanities and social sciences. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following themes:
• Transitional justice and the memorialization of conflict-related massacres, among them Jabidah, Manili, Tacub, Patikul, Palimbang, Maguindanao, and Mamasapano
• The afterlives of the Marawi Siege and the memory of post-2017 displacement
• Martial Law and the making of Bangsamoro political memory
• Lumad and Indigenous memorial registers between Moro and state narratives
• Gendered memory of the conflict and women’s practices of transmission
• Digital and platform memorialization of the Mindanao conflicts
• Generational transmission and the inheritance of conflict memory
• The memory of insurgency and counterinsurgency
• Rido and the vernacular transmission of vengeance and reconciliation
• Private armies, paramilitaries, and the memory of strongman violence

We particularly welcome contributions from early-career scholars and practitioners from or based in Mindanao, as well as work that bridges academic and community registers of memory to surface new insights into how the region remembers its long century of conflict.

This special issue will be guest coedited by John Lee Candelaria (Graduate School of Humanities and Social Sciences, Hiroshima University), Primitivo III Cabanes Ragandang (College of Arts and Social Sciences, Mindanao State University–Iligan Institute of Technology) and Ariel C. Lopez (Asian Center, University of the Philippines Diliman).

Prospective authors must submit extended abstracts of up to 500 words by 30 September 2026 along with their brief biographies in a combined Word (.docx) document. All submissions should be sent to the PSHEV Editorial Team ([email protected]), with guest editors cc’ed. Contributors will receive feedback by 15 October 2026.

Contributors of accepted abstracts will be invited to participate in either of two hybrid developmental workshops, to be held in Quezon City and in Iligan in November 2026, to refine and further develop their papers prior to final draft submission. Working drafts will be circulated among participants in advance, and selected participants may join at whichever location is more convenient, or online, subject to their own availability. Full drafts will be due by the first quarter of 2027.

Organized through the collaboration of Université de Montréal (Canada), Université Laval (Canada), and Universitas Gadjah Mada (Indonesia), the two-week international program brought together scholars and students from Southeast Asia and Canada to critically examine the intersections of tourism, heritage, history, memory, identity, sustainability, and cultural representation through lectures, seminars, collaborative discussions, and field-based qualitative research.

Representing the Department of History as one of the Southeast Asian delegates, Asst. Prof. Reyes actively participated in interdisciplinary academic exchanges and international collaborative research. As part of the program, he joined an international research team in conducting qualitative fieldwork at Prambanan Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, investigating visitors' perceptions and experiences of one of Southeast Asia's most significant cultural landscapes.

This international engagement reflects the Department of History's continuing commitment to internationalization, expanding global academic partnerships, strengthening faculty research capacity, and promoting cross-cultural scholarly collaboration.

This achievement advances SDG 4 (Quality Education) through international academic exchange and lifelong learning, SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals) by strengthening global institutional collaboration among universities, and SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) by promoting critical scholarship on cultural heritage, sustainable tourism, and the preservation of historical sites.

𝗧𝗥𝗔𝗖𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗧𝗥𝗔𝗖𝗞𝗦, 𝗦𝗛𝗔𝗣𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗙𝗨𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗘𝗦 | 𝗕𝗔 𝗛𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗱𝘂𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 𝗗𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗛𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗿 𝗚𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 & 𝗘𝘅𝗶𝘁 𝗦𝘂𝗿𝘃𝗲𝘆!

Following the success of their graduation ball, the BA History Fourth-Year students gathered once again for the 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗿 𝗚𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗘𝘅𝗶𝘁 𝗦𝘂𝗿𝘃𝗲𝘆. As the Department of History's annual career-preparation activity, this is designed to equip graduating History majors with the knowledge, confidence, and direction as they transition from university life to professional practice and graduate education.

Organized by the Department of History in collaboration with the MSU-IIT Historical Society (MIHS), the activity served as a meaningful venue for reflection, career planning, and institutional feedback while preparing the graduating class for the opportunities that lie beyond commencement.

The program commenced with the opening remarks of 𝗗𝗿. 𝗝𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗹𝘆𝗻 𝗕. 𝗣𝗮𝗹𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗮𝗼, who emphasized the Department's continuing commitment to supporting students not only throughout their academic journey but also as they begin building their professional careers.

The first session, "𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗸𝘀: 𝗠𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗘𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗼𝘆𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗧𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗛𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗠𝗮𝗷𝗼𝗿𝘀," delivered by 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝘁. 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗳. 𝗝𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗵 𝗣𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗹 𝗕. 𝗔𝗴𝗮𝗱, 𝗠𝗔, explored how the competencies developed through historical studies translate into diverse career pathways, while highlighting current employment trends and the evolving opportunities available to History graduates.

This was followed by "𝗔𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿-𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗱𝘂𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗸𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗧𝗶𝗽𝘀 (𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗱𝘂𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗝𝗼𝗯 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻)" by 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝘁. 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗳. 𝗫𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗹𝘆𝗻 𝗥𝗮𝗰𝗲𝗹 𝗥. 𝗕𝗮𝗲𝗻𝗮, 𝗠𝗜𝗛, who shared practical guidance on pursuing graduate education, preparing competitive application documents, navigating interviews, and making informed career decisions after graduation.

Completing the series, 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝘁. 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗳. 𝗠𝗶𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗲𝗹 𝗔𝗻𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗻𝘆 𝗥. 𝗡𝗴𝗼, 𝗠𝗜𝗛 presented "𝗝𝗼𝗯 𝗣𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗮𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽𝘀," introducing students to available employment opportunities, scholarship programs, and reliable platforms where they may continue their professional and academic pursuits.

The activity then provided graduating students with the opportunity to seek advice directly from the faculty, clarify concerns regarding career choices, graduate school, and employment, before concluding with the annual 𝗘𝘅𝗶𝘁 𝗦𝘂𝗿𝘃𝗲𝘆, whose insights will contribute to the continuous enhancement of the BA History Program and its student support initiatives.

The activity likewise serves as an important preparatory step ahead of their scheduled University-wide 𝗠𝗼𝗰𝗸 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄 on 𝗝𝘂𝗹𝘆 𝟭𝟳, 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 and the 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗝𝗼𝗯 𝗙𝗮𝗶𝗿 on 𝗝𝘂𝗹𝘆 𝟮𝟭-𝟮𝟮, 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲, ensuring that our graduating History majors enter these engagements better prepared, more informed, and equipped with greater confidence.

As our students prepare to close one chapter and begin another, the Department of History remains steadfast in its commitment to producing graduates who are not only historically grounded, but also professionally competent, socially responsive, and ready to contribute meaningfully to their chosen fields.

This initiative advances SDG 4 (Quality Education) through career readiness and lifelong learning opportunities for graduating students; and SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth) by strengthening graduate employability through career guidance, labor market awareness, and professional development.
