Global Vietnam Book Series

In 2023, Engaging With Vietnam launched a book series with Springer Nature called “Global Vietnam: Across Time, Space and Community.”

This book series is dedicated to advancing innovative scholarship on Vietnam and its global contexts and connections. It also aims to cultivate a new generation of researchers working across the arts, humanities, education, social sciences, and interdisciplinary fields.

At its core, the series engages with Vietnam not always as a fixed place or singular idea, but as a dynamic and evolving construct shaped across time, space, and communities, and constantly reimagined in both local and global contexts.

By foregrounding complexity, nuance, and new perspectives, the series captures the intellectual energy Vietnam continues to generate worldwide. It also reflects a shifting scholarly landscape in which knowledge production is increasingly global, decentralized, and collaborative.

This book series grows out of the long-running Engaging With Vietnam conference, which for over a decade has brought together diverse voices in dialogue.

For a full list of the titles that have already been published, some of which are open access, please visit the Springer Nature website.
