P-SWAG welcomes all students and allies who are interested in learning more about Pilipinx-related research. P-SWAG wants to help build bridges and create support for MSW students who are interested or curious about doctoral programs and academia. P-SWAG holds one monthly meeting online, the Scholars and Practitioners meetings, to discuss and build solutions around issues affecting our communities and to strategize ways in which future initiatives may positively impact the disparate outcomes we face. We plan to host bimonthly research meetings to promote research collaboration and support. The current and upcoming programming are designed to intentionally build community and connection, and serve as bridge programs to support future academics in their higher education journey.
P-SWAG is in a developmental phase of formalizing its long-term structure and impact. At the upcoming SSWR conference, the SIG plans to engage members in a collaborative process to finalize its vision and mission. Additionally, the group is expanding its activities to include pre-conference writing retreats and community engagement with local Pilipinx organizations, further strengthening its commitment to both scholarship and community partnership.
