 om Interdisciplinary Approaches in the Context of COVID-19 Pandemic
DESCRIPTION:A training program co-organized by the Harvard-Yenching Institu
 te and The University of Social Sciences and Humanities\, Vietnam National
  University in HCMC (USSH-VNU HCM)\n\nHeld at the The University of Social
  Sciences and Humanities\, Vietnam National University HCMC In July\, 2022
 .\n\nMore information on this program\, including how to apply (deadline M
 ay 15\, 2022)\n\nMigration is one of the crucial dimensions in socioeconom
 ic development all over the world\, including Vietnam. Migration movement 
 has continuously accelerated in terms of magnitude and destinations which 
 create both opportunities and challenges locally\, nationally\, regionally
  and globally. Vietnam has also witnessed multiple waves of rural-urban an
 d transnational migration under various wars\, developments and macro-econ
 omic reforms. Domestically\, Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) is the main receiving
  destination. While rural-urban migration has been predominant\, transnati
 onal migration waves in and out of the country have proved to be increasin
 gly significant in the context of Vietnam’s integration into the global 
 economy. It is noteworthy that Vietnam serves both as a sending and receiv
 ing country for transnational migrants.\n\nMigration in Vietnam raises iss
 ues that are of great interest to many anthropological studies. At receivi
 ng destinations\, the issues of social integration of migrants\, their cul
 tural and religious practices in the new environment\, the creation of the
 ir nuclear families and children's education\, the continuity of the relat
 ionship with their kinsmen at home and gender negotiation are highlighted.
  At the same time\, at sending localities\, the problems of left-behind el
 ders and sent-back-home children\, the shift in the practice of filial pie
 ty\, social responsibilities and duties are essential for social scientist
 s to begin to explore in order to comprehend this contemporary human movem
 ent.\n\nHitherto\, research on migration in Vietnam has focused on economi
 c impacts while social aspects of migration and gender negotiations proves
  to be of lesser interest and even overlooked. The diversity of issues cal
 ls for interdisciplinary approaches that enrich and extend anthropological
  practice. Therefore\, there is a need to introduce\, develop and foster i
 nterdisciplinary approaches to domestic rural-urban and transnational migr
 ation studies in general and in Vietnam in particular. In order to do this
 \, updated theories and methodologies related to migration studies includi
 ng social\n\nintegration and cultural continuity of migrants as well as le
 ft-behind kin will be important foundations for developing the discipline 
 of anthropology and migration studies in/of Vietnam
