Fulbright University Vietnam wishes to announce our annual conference on New Approaches to University Education in Asia. The 21st century has witnessed an unprecedented globalization of education, alongside the development of new pedagogies and epistemologies rooted in transnational research and local context. What does the future hold for higher-education in Asia? What role will policy, the liberal arts, fine arts, STEM, and everything in between play in re-shaping minds, nations, and regions?

We invite educators, scholars, researchers, graduate students, experts of practice, and all other interested individuals to join us at our Fulbright Crescent Campus in District 7, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, April 20-21. Ho Chi Minh City is one of Asia’s most dynamic cities – a vibrant center of innovation in business, culture, and education.

• Big Problems in Liberal Arts in Asia
