Thuc Linh Nguyen Vu (or Linh) is a postdoctoral fellow at the Research Center for the History of Transformations (RECET) at the University of Vienna. Prior to Linh’s relocation to Vienna she worked at the Global History Division at the Fredrich Meinecke Institut at the Freie Universität Berlin after earning her Ph.D. from the European University Institute in Florence in 2019. Linh is currently working on two book manuscripts. The first one is on the imbrications between unofficial everyday practices of care work and the sustainability of political mobilization within a left-leaning milieu of political dissidents in late socialist Warsaw. Linh’s second book project excavates the modes and patterns of exchange between Poland and Vietnam under late socialism through the prism of migration, socialist pedagogy, and cultural exchange.
