This roundtable examines how whiteness influences Filipino/a/x American perspectives on politics and well-being. It builds on the national USAP Tayo study, conducted from October 2024 to August 2025 at the Center for Healthy Minds at UW–Madison. Bringing together scholars, practitioners, and community members, the roundtable considers how whiteness informs Filipino American political perspectives and the politics of well-being. That USAP Tayo data reveals how whiteness, inherited through familial and institutional experiences, shapes Filipino Americans’ views on well-being, success, and politics (Ahmed, 2007). Tony DelaRosa reflects on co-leading USAP Tayo and using Kapwa theory and Kwentuhan to facilitate focus groups. Gabriella Sagun discusses how militarization and well-being appear in the data. Cai Barias shares her perspective on memory and diaspora to investigate how participants relate to whiteness. Sarah Amplo utilizes a Pinayist framework to discuss participants’ definitions of success. Hadley Rahrig, a White identifying researcher, offers her perspective engaged in cross-ethnoracial research, while offering implications for power distribution through the lens of health equity research and mentorship of emerging critical Filipinx scholars. Finally, Matthew Veland, representing USAP Tayo’s community partner, offers his perspective on Kapwa, drawing on both his experiences and his application of it in the study. Alongside these narratives, audience members will be invited to share how whiteness has shaped their own views on politics, well-being, and the politics of well-being. Confronting whiteness in Filipina/x/o American politics and well-being opens broader conversations about decolonizing well-being more broadly.
