”Engaging with Vietnam – An Interdisciplinary Dialogue” Conference in Hawaii
Oct 06 and 07, 2016
University of Hawaii at Manoa, Honolulu
The 8th “Engaging with Vietnam – An Interdisciplinary Dialogue” conference will take place on the 6th and 7th of October, 2016 in Honolulu, Hawaii, featuring keynote speeches by Vietnamese and foreign scholars and artists.
From the organizer:
The Engaging with Vietnam conference series has always encouraged dialogues between disciplines. It is in that spirit that this year’s conference will seek to facilitate conversations between various academic disciplines and the arts.
In recent years the Vietnamese arts world – be it music, painting or performance – has been very active and dynamic in attempting to “engage with Vietnam,” in the broadest sense, in our current era of globalization and societal change.
Alongside the featuring of signature scholarship from scholars in various academic disciplines, in this year’s conference we will also be highlighting in our keynote sessions the work of various artists and their engagements with Vietnamese society, culture and history as a way to build connections between the arts world and academia.
