PHILIPPINE STUDIES AT MICHIGAN
PHILIPPINE STUDIES AT MICHIGAN
The Philippine Studies Program at the University of Michigan was significantly bolstered in November 2022 by a 5 Million Philippine Peso grant endowed by the Philippine government through the advocacy of Senator Loren Legarda. Hosted within the Center for Southeast Asian Studies (CSEAS) and the University of Michigan Library, the program is uniquely focused on Reparative Stewardship.
Michigan is the guardian of the Dean C. Worcester Collection, one of the largest colonial-era archives of the Philippines in the world. The current program aims to decolonize these archives, funding research, student scholarships, and visiting faculty to ensure that these historical materials are studied through a modern, Filipino-led lens.

ABOUT
UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN
UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN
Founded in 1817, the University of Michigan is a premier public research university known for its rigorous academic standards and its deep historical ties to the Philippines.
During the American colonial period, UMich became the "training ground" for colonial officials, which led to the massive accumulation of Philippine artifacts and biological specimens now housed in the Bentley Historical Library and the Museum of Anthropological Archaeology.
Today, the university utilizes its world-class facilities to lead the "Philippine Studies Goes Global" initiative in the Midwest, transforming its colonial legacy into a platform for contemporary cultural diplomacy and academic innovation.
