CSWS Noon Talk: Alisa Freedman

"Telling the Stories of Vietnamese Women Educators and Their New Fields" — This new project tells the personal stories of female educators who are advancing gender equality in Vietnam by establishing academic fields based on cross-cultural knowledge, such as gender studies. Vietnam is witnessing the rise of a remarkable generation of female professors, who were born in the 1980s, grew up during national growth, and earned graduate degrees in the 2010s. They have increased knowledge production in Vietnam and improved women’s roles in the workforce.
