Graduate Student Research Symposium 2025

This study aimed to understand Dallot, an Indigenous epistemological art form, as a culturally sustaining methodology and pedagogy that may be used within the classroom to impact Ilokano students to connect with their heritage identity and strengthen their greater sense of self and commitment to the community. Through narrative inquiry, this study examined the experiences and processes of dallot practitioners in the Philippines and diaspora. The findings in this study utilized descriptive and thematic coding to understand the art form, its practice, its methodology, and its pedagogy.
