Description

SANSINUKUBAN is the official book series of the Ateneo de Davao University International Studies Department. It serves as a platform for students to publish original research articles primarily derived from their thesis and inspired by their Mindanao positionality. The book aims to foster vibrant scholarly dialogue among them and seeks to promote interdisciplinary approaches to critically analyze the intricacies and conundrums of our diverse and complex world.

“Traversing Spatial and Ideational Frontiers” invites readers to open up academic space for voices in the margins, to reflect on Mindanawon positionalities, and challenge the artificial divide between the local and the international.
