Subject: [Vsg] Vietnamese youth and political engagement
Hi All,
My name is Tuan Ngo and I'm a senior at Occidental College. I am writing to
ask for feedback from the group about my proposed research on Vietnamese
youth and political engagement. Also, I am hoping to gain contacs of
individuals who may know more about this topic. In particular, I hope to
get contacts of university/college professors, organization directors in
Vietnam, and others who are doing research in Vietnam during the months of
December 2006-January 2007.
My research will be in the format of a documentary. I want to do a
descriptive study examining youth culture in an attempt to understand how
Vietnamese coming generation may or may not affect political transformation.
One of the questions we want to examine is whether Vietnamese youth are
building spaces for political engagement/conversation and if so, what they
look like. This is why my contacts with university/college professors are
so important as I will be relying on them to gain access to their classrooms
and their students.
I understand that is still very broad in scope, and I am still narrowing the
focus. I appreciate any help you can provide.
Sincerely,
Tuan Ngo
