Major Activities
|
- Founding director of the Vietnam Museum of Ethnology (VME) (1995-2006), the innovative exhibitions of which earned national and international acclaim. As early as 1960s, young ethnologist Nguyen enthusiastically took part in field trips of the Vietnam Institute of Ethnology (VIE) to remote and mountainous areas bordering China and Laos, surveying then little known ethnic minority groups. In the 1980s, while working toward the completion of a Ph.D. in Ethnology (1988, at the VIE), Nguyen pioneered a new direction in ethnological research, using a sociological approach.
- Leading colleagues to conduct the first sociological surveys of ethnic groups across the country, Nguyen directed his interests to contemporary issues of socio-economic development of ethnic minorities and ethnic relations. These years of grounded experience with, solid scholarly insights of and deep concerns for the minorities formed a core of Nguyen’s advocacy for local voices through his new adventure as the Vietnam Museum of Ethnology's Director.
- Writting approximately 60 journal articles and more than 10 books, among which Faces, Voices and Lives: Experience of a Director in Building a Museum for Communities (The gioi Publisher, Hanoi, 2008) and Vietnam: Journeys of Body, Mind and Spirit (co-edited with Laurel Kendall, University of California Press, Berkeley, 2004).
