History and Lectures
Our lectures cover all periods of Vietnamese history from ancient to modern. The aim is to achieve insights into the evolution of Vietnamese society by listening to eminent Vietnamese scholars and engaging with the various interpretations of the past which they represent.
Recent lecture topics include ‘The development of Taoism in Vietnam’, ‘Western Influence on Vietnamese Women in the 20th Century’ and ‘The Jarai People of the Central Highlands’.
