Subject: Re: AAA 2003 - Vietnam panels at the Anthropological Association
meeting
Dear List:
The recent posting about the number of panels on Vietnam at the upcoming
AAS reminded me to send an email to the list regarding the similarly
large number of panels that will be presented at the upcoming American
Anthropological Association meetings that begin week after next, Nov
19-23, in Chicago. There are four panels specifically on Vietnam, and
a variety of individual papers as well. I don't think I have ever seen
an AAA with so many papers regarding Vietnam, a testament to the growing
strength of anthropology within Vietnam and the increasing number of
foreign anthropologists working there. I urge any VSGers in the Chicago
area, even if you are not anthropologists, to come down to hear what
promise to be extremely interesting panels.
I have included in this email a list of all the panels and individuals papers that I know about regarding Vietnam. I have listed them by Vietnam-focused panels first, in order of presentation at the conference, and then individual papers as part of non-Vietnam focused panels. Anyone whose panel/paper I missed, I would urge to let the rest of us attending the meetings know what you are presenting. As a plug for my own panel, AN UNEASY PEACE: POST-WAR VIETNAM IN ANTHROPOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE, we are placed at the very end of the first day, Wednesday at 8pm, so I would urge anyone getting in late that day to try to drag themselves down to the conference for our panel if you can. We hope to see many of our fellow VSGers there!
