The 7th Engaging with Vietnam Conference: Knowledge Journeys and Journeying Knowledge
2015-03-10
Dear Colleagues,
We apologize for cross-postings.
Happy New Year 2015!
We are very delighted to announce the 7th Engaging with Vietnam: An
Interdisciplinary Dialogue Conference. We look forward to your
participation. Please also help us circulate the call. Thank you!
The 7th Engaging with Vietnam - An Interdisciplinary Dialogue Conference
Knowledge Journeys and Journeying Knowledge
24th – 26th July 2015, Hue, Vietnam
Co-organized by University of Hawaii at Manoa, USA & Hue University of
Foreign Languages, Hue, Vietnam
www.engagingwithvietnam.net
The Engaging with Vietnam conference series has been, since the time
of its inception, interested in the production of knowledge about
Vietnam. This interest stems from the realization that the knowledge
that people produce about Vietnam depends on many factors, such as
where people are located and what they know. Put simply, people inside
of Vietnam and people outside of Vietnam approach the study of Vietnam
with different ideas, and come to different conclusions. This
dichotomy is then complicated by the fact that people inside of
Vietnam journey to places outside of the country to study, and people
from outside of Vietnam journey to Vietnam to study and conduct
research. These physical journeys lead to intellectual journeys that
change people’s ideas, something that we can call “knowledge
journeys.”
At the same time, academic theories from around the world (China,
France, Russia, North America, etc.) have journeyed all over the globe
in recent decades as well and have changed the way people think too.
We can call these mobile theories “journeying knowledge.”
The Seventh Engaging With Vietnam – An Interdisciplinary Dialogue
conference seeks to examine both of these phenomena – knowledge
journeys and journeying knowledge – in an effort to understand how
they influence the way that people produce knowledge about Vietnam.
That the conference will be held in Hue is very special and highly
relevant to its theme “knowledge journeys and journeying knowledge”.
Hue used to be the capital of Vietnam; and its complex history in both
pre-modern and modern Vietnam has earned the place a reputation as a
center of knowledge and culture. Hue University has also nurtured
generations of scholars whose ideas and scholarship have had long
impacts on the knowledge journeys and journeying knowledge of many
scholars inside and outside of Vietnam. Specifically, as a member of
Hue University, Hue University of Foreign Languages has always been a
site where so much work in foreign studies and translation of
scholarship has been conducted. The University is the start of many
journeys to the outside world as well as the destination of journeys
from the outside. A journey (back) to Hue is indeed significant to the
knowledge production about Vietnam.
The following scholars have agreed to participate in plenary panels:
Bửu Ý, Susan Bayly, Peter Zinoman, Đỗ Bang, Liam Kelley, Phan Le Ha,
Bao Kham, Pham Hong Nhung, Pham Hoa Hiep, Nguyen Nam, Danny Wong Tze
Ken, Tran Quang Duc, Fazal Rizvi, David Biggs, Phan Thanh Hải,
Bich-Ngoc Turner, and Tran Trong Duong.
With this in mind, we would like to invite you to participate in the
Seventh Engaging with Vietnam conference.
You are invited to submit your panel proposal (500 words) or
individual paper proposal (200-300 words) by the deadline below.
