Patricia Pelley is an Associate Professor in the Department of History at Texas Tech University. Her research intersects Modern Asian History, Vietnamese History, Global Christianity, and Decolonization studies.
She is completing a manuscript titled "Jesus, Mary, and Marcel Văn in the Vietnamese Revolution," analyzing the role of global Catholicism in anti-colonial movements through the life of Vietnamese writer Gioakim Nguyễn Tân Văn. Her work engages French imperialism, revolutionary activism, and religious historiography.
Her award-winning book Postcolonial Vietnam: New Histories of the National Past (Duke University Press, 2002) examines how Vietnamese historians redefined national identity post-1954, departing from Marxist models to create a multiethnic narrative framework.
She teaches undergraduate and graduate courses in Asian and World Histories, with recent course topics including novel-based historical analysis.
