Description
Summary:We conceptualize "kuwentuhan" as a methodological disruption to Western constructs of research. The purpose of this article is two-fold: first, to conceptualize and explicitly name "kwentuhan" as a research method and two, to reclaim Filipino epistemology and ontology through language. We orient "kuwentuhan" within the framework of "Sikolohiyang Pilipino" and more specifically, the concept of "kapwa" and discuss three elements of "kwentuhan" as a research method to use with and for undocumented Filipino students. Our implications offer conceptual nourishment in conducting critical and humanizing research and practice with and for undocumented students rooted in their culture.
