IR Researcher & Lecturer

About

I am a postgraduate specializing in International Relations and Comparative Regionalism, driven by a passion for advancing research as a pathway to regional and world development. My publications in both Vietnamese and English reflect not only my research skills with both rigor and creativity but also the ability to communicate across diverse academic and cultural contexts. Furthermore, I value the aspirational power of education in progressing research achievements. I have experience in mentoring and tutoring, with a belief that education is a reciprocal process—where learners and teachers alike shape knowledge and growth. My approach emphasizes inclusivity, critical thinking, and the recognition of diverse perspectives. With these foundations, I am seeking opportunities with universities, NGOs, and international organizations where I can contribute through research, teaching, and academic development. My long-term aspiration is to contribute to advancing knowledge and inspiring students in researching International Relations and Regional Studies.
