Postwar Vietnam Discussion

March 6 @ 12:30 pm - 2:30 pm

Quan Manh Ha, editor, THE COLORS OF APRIL and professor at University of Montana joins Tony Bui (Columbia University), Christoph Giebel (University of Washington), and Kieu Bich Hau (Vietnam Writers’ Association), for a conversation on “Postwar Vietnam in Literature, Media, and Film.” The panel is part of a day-long seminar, “Postwar Vietnam and Cambodia: Society, Culture, and Diaspora Communities in Seattle.”



About the seminar:
Spring 2025 marks the fiftieth anniversary of the end of the Second Indochina War, also known as the Vietnam War. This milestone invites scholars, artists, authors, community leaders, and UW students to reflect on the transformations, challenges and developments in Vietnam, Cambodia, and the Southeast Asian diaspora in Greater Seattle since April 1975. Organized by Professor Bich-Ngoc Turner and co-sponsored by UW’s Department of Asian Languages & Literature and the Center for Southeast Asia and Its Diasporas, this one-day conference features talks by local scholars, Vietnamese and Vietnamese American artists, and community leaders. Join us to commemorate this historic moment and explore its lasting impacts.
