hindering) workers, entrepreneurs, state enterprises and others in prospering in
the new Vietnamese economy; cutting-edge state enterprise reform issues; labor
disputes and strikes; the role of export labor; gender and labor; gender and
entrepreneurship; the role of the Vietnamese media in labor relations issues;
labor, entrepreneurship and capital in overseas Vietnamese communities; and
other related themes.
These themes are not meant to be exclusive and we welcome contact from graduate
students and scholars engaged in fieldwork or other direct research relating to
the general themes of the meeting and planned volume.We are particularly and enthusiastically interested in paper proposals that
result from fieldwork in Vietnam, and particularly welcome such proposals.Proposals are due on September 1. Papers will be due on November 1; final
papers after the symposium will be due on January 15.Pending confirmation of funding, we expect to have funds available for travel to
