*************************************************************************
The Center for Southeast Asian Studies at the University of Washington, Seattle (USA), announces the conference-workshop: "Beyond Borders: alternative voices and histories of the Vietnamese diaspora," March 4-7, 2010.
Coordinators: Christoph Giebel, Judith Henchy, University of Washington, Seattle; Co-coordinators: Mariam B. Lam, University of California, Riverside; Jack Yeager, Louisiana State University
The third in a trilogy of conference-workshops, "Alternative Voices and Histories in Viet Nam: Colonial Modernities and Post-colonial Narratives," this workshop will focus on the disparate margins of Vietnamese identities. We will explore the particular and multiple
histories of Vietnamese overseas sojourn, migration and exile, and how they can help articulate our interest in marginal voices in Vietnamese historiography with the disciplinary concerns of ethnic and global cultural studies. Two scholars of the Vietnamese diaspora will help frame our workshop with distinct Francophone and American perspectives, and serve as "keynote speakers in dialog": Jack Yeager
(LSU) and Mariam Lam (UC Riverside).
The March 4-7, 2010 "Beyond Borders" conference-workshop is seeking a variety of papers on the Vietnamese diaspora, broadly defined in time and space. A more detailed announcement and call for papers will be issued later in the summer.
