Chào mừng bạn!
I am an Assistant Professor of History at the University of California, Irvine.
Prior to UC Irvine, I served as Chancellor’s Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of History at the University of California, Riverside, coming to the UC system from Haverford College where I was Visiting Assistant Professor of History and Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow at the John B. Hurford ’60 Center for the Arts and Humanities.
I hold Ph.D. and M.A. degrees in History from the University of Washington with a concentration in the history of modern Viet Nam and have a M.A. degree in Southeast Asian Studies from Ohio University.
A few words on my name, if you are a student in my class expecting to learn a little Vietnamese first thing every day! My full name is Nguyễn Dịu Hương [N’win Zee-ew Huh-ung] with diacritical marks and in Vietnamese name order, in which my family name, Nguyễn, comes first. The uncrossed letter “D” is pronounced “zee” in English. And I’m generally known as Diu-Huong Nguyen in daily interactions with the non-Vietnamese world.
