The international workshop Reconfiguring Vietnam is taking place on 21-22 April 2022 at the Max Planck for Social Anthropology in Halle as a hybrid event. Convened by Minh Nguyen and Kirsten Endres, it is a collaboration between the institute and AG Social Anthropology of Bielefeld's Faculty of Sociology.

The workshop will recaste the economic lives of Vietnamese living in Vietnam and beyond, i.e. the penetration of global finance, ideas of entrepreneurship, digitalization of economic activities and integration of Vietnamese labour into the global labor market through translocal and transnational migration. In particular, the workshop will address three themes: a) Gender and Private Life, b) Culture and Identity, c) Class and Consumption. For further information please follow the link.
