Exploring Methods to Decolonize English Studies


This article serves as the culmination of the roundtable discussion (RTD) held on September 18, 2019, with the theme “Exploring Methods for Decolonizing English Studies.” This paper embarks on a voyage of exploration, specifically focusing on methods tailored to the broader Global South and, more intimately, the Philippines—a nation steeped in a history of colonization and resilience. We aspire that this discussion paper will act as a catalyst, igniting ongoing conversations, stimulating further research, and inspiring actions directed toward the decolonization of English studies. This extends not only to the Global South but also its influence far beyond these boundaries. Furthermore, this paper meticulously delineates the strategies employed by Filipino scholars to decolonize their respective areas of expertise within English studies, encompassing both pedagogy and research.
