About
I am currently interested in examining the poetics and politics of post-war memory of Vietnamese communities in the US. My teaching/research focuses on critical consciousness in Transnational Social Work that intersects Action Research, Performance Studies, Transnational Religions, Critical Race Theories, and Community Development. Previously I was involved in an inter-university project (UW-Harvard-Brandeis) to investigate the role of spiritual capital for influencing Vietnamese and Mexican integration into a small-scaled city. I had recently engaged in a community-based collaborative project between UW Bothell/Interdisciplinary Arts & Science and Difficult Dialogues Program of Southeast Asia Center of UW/Seattle to examine identity, memory, and history through theatrical traditions of Southeast Asia. Last but not least, I am a grassroots activist.
