In 2018, EWV offered the opportunity to interested participants of the 10th EWV conference (held that year in Ho Chi Minh City, Phan Thiet & Binh Thuan) to contribute to a special issue of the Journal of Vietnamese Studies.
This initiative was directed by Phan Le Ha (Universiti Brunei Darussalam & University of Hawaii at Manoa), Liam C. Kelley (Universiti Brunei Darussalam) and Jamie Gillen (University of Auckland).
Prior to submitting the papers to the journal for peer review, we held a workshop with potential authors to help strengthen their papers for submission. Logistical support for the summer workshop in 2018 was provided by University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Vietnam National University, Ho Chi Minh City.
The special issue, entitled “The Collaboration Project between Engaging With Vietnam and the Journal of Vietnamese Studies,” was then published in early 2020.
