Faculty members from the Faculty of Literature attended the international scientific conference on art and minority communities.

The conference is a large-scale interdisciplinary academic event, bringing together numerous researchers from leading educational institutions in Vietnam (Institute of Literature, Vietnam National University, Hanoi; Vietnam National University, Ho Chi Minh City; Hanoi Pedagogical University; Van Lang University; Tay Nguyen University; Ho Chi Minh City Pedagogical University; Da Nang Pedagogical University,...) and internationally (USA, Australia, India, Hungary...). At Van Lang University, through plenary sessions and 9 specialized subcommittees, more than 100 full-text papers, after undergoing blind peer review, were presented and discussed with academic rigor, theoretical depth, and interdisciplinary connections. At Tay Nguyen University, scientific papers, roundtable discussions on the topic of “Landscape Criticism and Indigenous Studies in Vietnamese Art,” and art fieldwork demonstrated the profound connection between scientific research and the practical lives of Vietnamese ethnic minority communities, making many issues discussed at the conference concrete and vivid.
The workshop demonstrated the appeal of indigenous culture in the context of integration, opening up new approaches to the study of art and minority communities from a cross-cultural perspective, contributing to raising awareness among researchers and the public about ethnicity and nation in its wholeness and unity in diversity.

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Hoang Cam Giang served as co-Head of the Conference Content Committee, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Phung Ngoc Kien was a member of the Organizing Committee, and Dr. Nguyen Thi Bich was a member of the Conference Secretariat. The participation of faculty members from the Faculty of Literature at the Conference demonstrates the Faculty's interest in interdisciplinary research issues, especially new approaches in literary and artistic research.
