| ABOUT
YVSG |
| The
YALE VIETNAMESE STUDIES GROUP (YVSG) was formed in Fall
2000 when several graduate students from various departments
with a common interest in Vietnam launched an interdisciplinary
workshop and study group.. |
|
It
was the hope of its founders that YVSG would provide
a forum for critical analysis of works-in-progress,
practical research experience, and promotion of research
in Vietnam.
Today the YVSG brings together both graduate and undergraduate
students and faculty across a range of disciplines.
The current program continues to provide a space for
students and scholars to present and workshop their
current research. The YVSG also works with the Council
on Southeast Asia Studies to invite guest speakers
and artists throughout the year. Topics for both student
and invited talks span disciplines from history to
literature to public health. See Archives
below for examples of previous workshop presentations
and YVSG activities.
