Edited by Phan Lê Hà and Liam C. Kelley, the book series Global Vietnam: Across Time, Space, and Community is devoted to advancing scholarship on Vietnam and Vietnam-related questions while fostering a new generation of scholars working in the arts and humanities, education, social sciences, and interdisciplinary fields. It situates Vietnam within global contexts and explores “global Vietnam” across time, space, and diverse communities.

The series brings together original research and fresh interpretations that attend to the nuances, complexities, and ongoing transformations that Vietnam—in all of its possible meanings and constructions—has inspired and generated. It also recognizes the expanding global networks of Vietnamese and Vietnam-focused scholars whose work reflects a contemporary moment in which knowledge production is increasingly decentralized and transnational. These intellectual commitments have been cultivated over more than a decade through the Engaging With Vietnam conference series, from which this book series has grown as a natural extension.

To date, the series includes the following volumes:

1. Research and Teaching Vietnamese as a Second Language: A Global Perspective (2026), edited by Trang Phan and An Sakach.
