dc.description.abstractThe purpose of this qualitative, narrative inquiry was to understand the experiences of Filipino students at a community college in Hawai‘i and whether decolonizing practices in student affairs fostered positive ethnic identity, student engagement and agency. The primary findings from a cross-comparative analysis of three Filipino community college students’ narratives who were exposed to decolonizing practices suggests decolonizing practices in student affairs were a promising intervention for facilitating positive Filipino ethnic identity, increasing student engagement, and agency. Furthermore, the analysis of findings suggests participation with decolonizing student activities can serve as a critical mental health intervention for Filipino students who experience shame of ethnic identity, lack of peer support, and family pressures to succeed. The educational narratives of study participants revealed their self-concept and ethnic identity were shaped by a dominant narrative where they were rendered invisibilized and marginalized. As a result of experiencing decolonizing practices, the narratives of these three Filipino community college students in Hawai‘i were powerful counter-stories of community cultural wealth that dismantled the dominant narrative. This study offers recommendations to address the need for future policy, practice, and research by: (a) decolonizing curriculum and programs, (b) decolonizing practices for academic and support services, and (c) decolonizing research.
