Vietnamese History and Culture--A Public Symposium
America’s involvement in Indochina has remained an ongoing trauma in the national consciousness. Much about the historical, cultural and political environment of the Indochina conflict has been distorted by journalistic distortion and the lack of will to really examine the issues. This symposium will focus on Vietnamese history from the perspective of the question: Who are the Vietnamese? The goal of this Public Symposium is to explore the scope of Vietnamese history and culture that includes themes such as a strong resistance to foreign intrusion, underlying philosophical and religious values, the the issue of Chinese and French colonialism, and the Second Indochina War.
The symposium includes: a series of four lectures, a reading discussion, two films and an Asian banquet experience. Each lecture will have a study guide that will include an outline of the lecture and supplementary information for each topic. Each event will include an opportunity for audience questions and discussion. This symposium is offered to interested members of the community, both on and off campus. People may attend one or several activities, as they find them of interest. For example, some people may prefer a film, while others a lecture or discussion. With the exception of the banquet, all events are open and free to the public.For a program schedule and detailed information about the symposium, please visit our website (click here). We look forward to seeing you in San Marcos!
