Call for Papers
Vietnam Update 2006Dilemmas in Difference: New Approaches to Ethnic Minorities in Vietnam
The Australian National University, Canberra, 23-24 November 2006
The Vietnam Update for 2006 addresses the topic of ethnic minorities in Vietnam.
The organisers are now calling for papers that seek to make a significant empirical and conceptual contribution to understanding minority ethnicities in Vietnam. The signature theme of the conference is 'challenging stereotypes'. This emphasis reflects our belief that untested assumptions, a lack of solid research, and insufficient attention to the voices of ethnic minority people, have flawed too much of the existing literature on ethnic minorities in Vietnam. Having identified these problems, the 2006 Vietnam Update aims to provide a forum for a critical engagement between old ideas and new research. To that end, we are seeking contributors who want to make an informed, richly illustrated, and critical contribution to our theme, in ways that have the potential to change knowledge about ethnic minorities in Vietnam.
