معرفی
Vivian Truong is an Assistant Professor of History at Swarthmore College, with affiliations in the Asian American Studies program. Her research and teaching focus on Asian American history, urban history, and social movements, particularly examining racialized policing and community resistance in 20th-century U.S. contexts.
Her current research explores movements against police violence in late 20th-century New York City, including the 1995 police killing of Chinese teenager Yong Xin Huang and the eviction of Vietnamese street vendors under broken windows policing. This work was published in the Journal of Asian American Studies as part of her broader engagement with oral history methodologies and community-driven archives.
Professor Truong co-coordinates two public history projects: the CAAAV Organizing Asian Communities archive preservation and A/P/A Voices, which documents Asian/Pacific/American pandemic experiences. She holds a PhD in American Culture from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, and teaches courses on modern American history, Chinatowns, and oral history.
