Pangasinan studies as ethnic/area studies needs to be conceptualised to consolidate and promote studies on Pangasinan and to reclaim identity lost in the mainstream ‘national culture’. It is absolutely necessary, however, to lay down first its epistemic foundations. Assessing the past and present production of knowledge, which would fall under Pangasinan studies, would provide clues in charting the direction of future researches. This paper will clarify the epistemic nature of Pangasinan studies and appraise past and current researches on Pangasinan. Having done this, it will conclude by defining and prescribing the prospective course to be taken by Pangasinan scholars in the development of Pangasinan studies geared toward decolonisation.
