This is the first annual AAS conference in Canada since 2017 (Toronto), and the first ever in Vancouver. The following information comes from the AAS online program. Several panels are exclusively on Vietnam studies, and they appear in full below, and in blue.

- Ryan Wolfson-Ford, “The Partitioning of Laos: Lost Voices from both sides of the Mekong River in 1893 and the creation of modern Laos,” The Journal of Lao Studies 8 (December 2024): 1-21.
- Duong Van Bien, “The Global Catholic Missionary Societies and the Spread of Marian Devotion in Pre-Twentieth-Century Vietnam,” Manusya: Journal of Humanities (2024): 1-20.
I made the following compilation from the online program of the annual conference of the Association for Asian Studies. This year commemorates the 50th anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War. At least two panels include the half-century mark in their titles, and several others reference it in their abstract. The annual meeting of the Vietnam Studies Group is scheduled for March 14 (Friday) at 7:00 PM.
The following email interview took place over the last six months. It began shortly after the Journal of Asian Studies published my review of the monograph by Dr. Giang Nguyen-Thu (Nguyễn Thu Giang): Television in Post-Reform Vietnam: Nation, Media, Market (Routledge, 2019). Please click here to read the review. The photos below were provided by Dr. Nguyen-Thu.

It’s probably the best part of the dissertation, ha! To my eternal regret, however, I completely neglected to acknowledge the office administrators at ND Department of History. A special if belated appreciation goes to Myrtle Doaks and Jeanette Torok. As they had done for many history grads over the years, they helped me with many things – and always with good cheer – during and after my years in residence. Ladies, thank you so much!
