Abstract

Experiences made me acutely aware of the association of the West with Christianity as converging imperialist powers in Vietnam’s tumultuous history, both within academia and the Vietnamese state. This created both practical and ethical challenges for me to navigate while conducting in-depth interviews and participant observation over the space of several months between 2016 and 2017, but also some surprising opportunities, writes Seb Rumsby.
