Kuwento Co. is proud to share that Dr. Pinky served as Guest Editor for Filipino American National Historical Society (FANHS) Journal Volume 13, published by University of Hawai‘i Press.
Volume 13 brings together 17 contributions from scholars, poets, archivists, historians, and community leaders whose work expands and deepens Filipino American studies. The volume reflects the richness of the field today — spanning oral traditions, cinema history, queer diaspora, student activism, archival practice, digital preservation, community history, and intergenerational leadership.
As Guest Editor, Dr. Pinky oversaw the editorial development of the volume, stewarding contributor submissions, guiding revisions, and ensuring cohesion across diverse disciplines and genres. The role required both scholarly rigor and relational care — balancing academic standards with deep respect for community-rooted storytelling.
The result is a volume that bridges scholarship and lived experience while strengthening the archival record of Filipino American communities.
