About the Course:

{M}aganda Magazine is a student-run Filipino and Filipino-American literary arts publication on campus.

This course will strive to further define {M}aganda’s role as a student publication in engaging dynamic dialogue on issues pertinent to the Filipino and Filipino-American culture. It seeks to explore the medium of publication as a historically and contemporarily significant means of community representation and cultural expression, as well as an important space to initiate discourse and dialogue on issues affecting communities today. Additionally, the course will attempt to foster students’ creativity through ongoing discussions and emphasis on the visual arts, as well as by heavily implementing a hands-on approach to collegiate publishing. By the end of the semester, students will have obtained general experience in the visual as a form of expression and activism, and will have contributed several hours in various aspects of publishing—from fundraising to layout and/or editing using Adobe InDesign, Adobe Photoshop, and Macromedia Flash.
