About VSIRC - the Vietnamese Studies Internet Resource Center
Vietnamese Studies are largely neglected in the curriculum of Ethnic Studies, Asian Studies, and Asian American Studies Programs in North American Universities. Regardless of this, there is an extensive and growing scholarly literature devoted to the study of Vietnamese culture and the adaptation of Vietnamese immigrants and refugees in diasporic communities across the world. The VSIRC website is intended as a resource base for both scholars and community members interested in the study of Vietnamese culture as well as the adjustment of overseas Vietnamese.
VSIRC is intended to promote respect and understanding for Vietnamese culture as well as raise awareness of the tremendous contributions persons of Vietnamese origin provide to North American society.
