Description
The Center for
Southeast Asia Studies is holding a one-day conference on "Vietnam
Studies: States of the Field" on Thursday, April 6, 2006, immediately
prior to the Association of Asian Studies annual meeting in San
Francisco. The conference is being convened as part of the launch
activities connected with the new "Journal of Vietnamese Studies"
whose first issue will be published by the University of California
Press in summer 2006.
The conference brings together prominent scholars who are contributing
invited essays to the first issues of the journal. These essays
represent three of the major types of pieces that the journal intends
to publish: articles based on primary research, state-of-the-field
essays and learned contributions to debates within the field.
