Toward the 50th Anniversary of the End of the Vietnam War: Vietnamese Americans Contending with War and Postwar Legacies in Eugene, Oregon

The US-Vietnam Research Center presents a two-day conference at the University of Oregon as part of our activities to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the end of the civil war in Vietnam. This important occasion provides an opportunity for Vietnamese American scholars, activists, and community members young and old across the country to gather to share their thoughts, experiences, and concerns about the past, the present, and the future. The main topics for discussion include war and postwar legacies; political, economic, social and cultural efforts to develop the community and to preserve memory for the next generation; and inter-generational differences. We hope the discussion will help us understand better the critical issues currently facing this community and empower participants to identify effective solutions for them.

Dates: Friday, October 27th and Saturday, October 28th, 2023
Location: Lee Barlow Giustina Ballroom, Ford Alumni Center, University of Oregon, Eugene, Oregon
