Saigon

In Spring 2022 I will be teaching a course on invisibility at the Fulbright University of Vietnam in Ho Chi Minh City. My son Theo will be joining me to study farming practices in the Ho Chi Minh area. This page will record some of our discoveries, and also serve as a portal for students in the course.
