Biography

Thục Linh Nguyễn Vũ

Thục Linh Nguyễn Vũ is a postdoctoral fellow at the Research Center for the History of Transformations (RECET) at the University of Vienna. Before joining RECET, she was a postdoctoral researcher at Free University Berlin. Nguyễn Vũ earned her Ph.D. at the European University Institute (EUI) and was a visiting scholar at Columbia University.

Nguyễn Vũ is a cultural historian of modern Poland and Vietnam with a strong interest in interdisciplinary approaches. During her time at the Minda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies (CES), Nguyễn Vũ will work on her research project investigating the cultural, personal, and educational contacts between Poland and Vietnam amid and after decolonization during global socialism. Drawing on archival research and oral history interviews, this project will excavate these robust, but largely forgotten, shared histories. By zooming in on new institutions that were founded to facilitate these global connections and personal bonds, the research project attempts to show that while these complex exchanges were at times overtly political, they also tended to be intimate and wayward.

This information is accurate for the time period that the visiting scholar is affiliated with CES.
