Philippine Studies: Historical and Ethnographic Viewpoints is an internationally refereed journal that publishes scholarly articles and other materials on the history of the Philippines and its peoples, both in the homeland and overseas.
It believes the past is illuminated by historians as well as scholars from other disciplines; at the same time, it prefers ethnographic approaches to the history of the present. It welcomes works that are theoretically informed but not encumbered by jargon. It promotes a comparative and transnational sensibility, and seeks to engage scholars who may not be specialists on the Philippines. Founded in 1953 as Philippine Studies, the journal is published quarterly by the Ateneo de Manila University.

Call for Papers: Beyond Tokhang: Drugs in Contemporary Philippine Society |
|
 By 2026, it have been ten years since former President Rodrigo Duterte embarked on a drug war that claimed the lives of thousands of Filipinos, and four years since he left office. The new administration has vowed a different approach to drugs—including community-based rehabilitation—even as Philippine drug policies and laws have remained essentially unchanged, and the country continues to adhere to a prohibitionist, drug-free paradigm. Various aspects of the drug war have been widely analyzed, but diverse and evolving settings and contexts of drug use, drug policy, and the place of drugs in society have received far less attention. |
