The Engaging with Vietnam conference series has been, since the time of its inception, interested in the production of knowledge about Vietnam. This interest stems from the realization that the knowledge that people produce about Vietnam depends on many factors, such as where people are located and what they know. Put simply, people inside of Vietnam and people outside of Vietnam approach the study of Vietnam with different ideas, and come to different conclusions. This dichotomy is then complicated by the fact that people inside of Vietnam journey to places outside of the country to study, and people from outside of Vietnam journey to Vietnam to study and conduct research. These physical journeys lead to intellectual journeys that change people’s ideas, something that we can call “knowledge journeys.”

At the same time, academic theories from around the world (China, France, Russia, North America, etc.) have journeyed all over the globe in recent decades as well and have changed the way people think too. We can call these mobile theories “journeying knowledge.”

The Seventh Engaging With Vietnam – An Interdisciplinary Dialogue conference seeks to examine both of these phenomena – knowledge journeys and journeying knowledge – in an effort to understand how they influence the way that people produce knowledge about Vietnam.

That the conference will be held in Hue is very special and highly relevant to its theme “knowledge journeys and journeying knowledge”. Hue used to be the capital of Vietnam; and its complex history in both pre-modern and modern Vietnam has earned the place a reputation as a center of knowledge and culture. Hue University has also nurtured generations of scholars whose ideas and scholarship have had long impacts on the knowledge journeys and journeying knowledge of many scholars inside and outside of Vietnam. Specifically, as a member of Hue University, Hue University of Foreign Languages has always been a site where so much work in foreign studies and translation of scholarship has been conducted. The University is the start of many journeys to the outside world as well as the destination of journeys from the outside. A journey (back) to Hue is indeed significant to the knowledge production about Vietnam.

The following scholars have agreed to participate in plenary panels: Bửu Ý, Susan Bayly, Peter Zinoman, Đỗ Bang, Liam Kelley, Phan Le Ha, Bao Kham, Pham Hong Nhung, Pham Hoa Hiep, Nguyen Nam, Danny Wong Tze Ken, Tran Quang Duc, Fazal Rizvi, David Biggs,Phan Thanh Hải, Bich-Ngoc Turner, and Tran Trong Duong.
