Talk summary:
In this talk Nadine will reflect on the life-changing experience of doing research on the Vietnamese one-party state as a female German PhD student. She will talk about the year she spent in the Mekong Delta and share what she learnt about culture, power, and democracy – and the questions that remained unanswered, driving her academic work since then.
