Subject: [Vsg] March 2007 Vietnam Center Conference - Still
accepting proposals
Dear Colleagues:
The Vietnam Center is pleased to announce that Dr. Keith Taylor of
Cornell University will be the keynote speaker at the March 2007 Vietnam
Conference on the impact of culture on the Vietnam War. He will discuss,
“Collateral Cultures: Wartime Congruences, Differences, and
Indifferences.”
The Vietnam Center is still accepting paper and panel proposals that
examine the interplay between US, Vietnamese, and other participant
nations' cultures for the entire period of US diplomatic and military
activity in Vietnam and Southeast Asia. This can include some of the earliest
interactions between the US and Indochina. We also encourage
submissions that discuss more nuanced topics to include internal ethnic,
religious, and racial conflicts within Vietnam, the U.S., and Southeast Asia,
as well as race and cultural relationships within military forces,
government agencies and institutions, and civilian organizations. Given the
breadth and potential depth of this topic, it is our sincere desire
that willing participants will help shape the agenda by providing
insightful and creative proposals.
Both individual and panel proposals are welcome. If you are interested
in participating, please submit a one page proposal that describes the
topic you would like to discuss along with your resume or CV to Dr.
Steve Maxner, Deputy Director for the Vietnam Center. You can send your
proposals to him at steve.maxner@ttu.edu. If you have any questions,
please call 806-742-9010.
Deadline for submissions is February 15.
