The FEU Graduate Office held the Second Graduate Studies Research Colloquium on February 17th, 2024. A total of 18 papers were accepted for presentation. Graduate students from Psychology, Communications, Education, Biology, and Nursing gave overviews of their research on topics as varied as queer representations in Filipino comics, the correlation between firefly larvae and the prevalence of gastropods, ethical issues in teletherapy, metacognitive awareness of reading strategies in hearing impaired students, and family-centered care for pregnant women.

The Colloquium provided FEU Graduate students the opportunity to present their research in a public forum, gain important feedback from a panel of responders, field questions from the audience, and, of course, to compete for the Best Paper Award which went to Kyle Patrick De Guzman from the Department of Communications for his paper, Nag-usap, Kinileg, Nabasa: Multimodal Analysis of Queer Representations in Sari-Sari Story Online Comics.

Kyle’s paper was revised for publication in the first issue of SIKHAY, 2024. Some of the other papers that were presented in the Colloquium are published in the second issue of SIKHAY, 2024.
