The Harvard Global Vietnam Wars Studies Initiative (GVWSI) invites you to a two-day conference that brings together informed assessments from around the globe to provide an evidence-based, in-depth exploration of this multifaceted war and its complex legacies.
Fifty years have passed since North Vietnamese tanks rolled into Saigon in 1975, after decades of set-piece battles, guerrilla warfare involving a dozen combatant nations, and overlapping civil conflicts in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. Although vigorously debated in the United States, the war’s meanings and implications remain unresolved. Vietnamese and other international perspectives are rarely studied, as most current research focuses primarily on American perceptions, experiences, and memories. As a result, we still struggle to tell the broader tragedy of the conflict, even as its ashes and embers continue to spread across the globe and through generations.
A deeper understanding of the wars’ global impact is vital for history and is also timely and essential for addressing current and future conflicts. Above all, we seek to foster intellectual, historical, and cultural exchanges across nations, communities, and generations with a shared commitment to scholarship, reconciliation, and healing.
We invite proposals from scholars, researchers, veterans, and practitioners on the following themes:
Submission Deadline: February 18, 2025

If your submission is accepted, participants planning to attend the conference will be expected to submit a final paper of approximately 2,500–3,000 words. During the conference, participants will be giving 15–20 minute presentation of their final paper as part of their allotted panel, followed by a moderated discussion and Q&A focused on the panel’s topic.
