Fellowships for Research and Training Vietnam

In 2001, the Southeast Asia Program of the Social Science Research Council/American Council of Learned Societies completed its final award cycle for the Fellowship for Research and Training, Vietnam. With funding from the Ford Foundation, the program sponsored doctoral and post-doctoral research on Vietnam.

The awards represented a broad range of disciplines across the social sciences and humanities. Research topics included:

  • gender studies

  • upland studies (including natural resource management and cultural issues)

  • premodern history

  • modern social and cultural history (especially oral history methodologies)

  • urban studies

  • rural to urban migration (especially in relation to questions of poverty)

  • art history and preservation

  • modern and classical literatures

Each fellow was required to establish and maintain, with the aid of Council staff, a relationship with a Vietnamese counterpart institution. Fellows spent a portion of their time either teaching, lecturing, carrying out combined research activities, or assisting in setting up research guidelines and protocols for ongoing research projects.
