Faculty AdvisorName: Tu-Uyen N. Nguyen, MPH, PhD.
Professor Nguyen teaches in the Asian American Studies Department. My research, publications, teaching, and community work focus on culture and public health intersections, particularly in the areas of cancer prevention and youth development, and asset-based community wellness, mindfulness, and educational empowerment through service-learning and social justice engagement. Favorite Courses That I Have Taught at CSUF: Vietnamese Communities in the U.S. (ASAM 220); Introduction to Asian American Studies (ASAM 300); Asian American Literature (ASAM 327); AAPI Community Health Issues (ASAM 330A/B); Asian American Families (ASAM 342). Other Interesting Facts: I was born in Vietnam and my family and I escaped as boat refugees after the war. I have presented my research at conferences in Vietnam and conducted a week-long "study away" program in Little Saigon (Westminster, CA) in 2016 where CSUF students from my ASAM 220 class were able to explore this community in-person during their spring break. I also enjoy serving as a volunteer on the Board of Directors for the community-based organizations, the Vietnamese American Arts and Letters Association (VAALA) and the Orange County Asian and Pacific Islander Community Alliance (OCAPICA). |
