[Vnbiz] Fwd: Thu moi du seminar ve Ngon ngu HIV/AIDS.../Invitation to a seminar on HIV/AIDS Language...

Mon Jun 25 08:42:04 PDT 2007

Dearest a.Hoanh, a.Thuy, c.Dieu Anh, c.PMThu, e.Dieu and other CACC,

Plenty of thanks for your interests and wishes for my latest presentation at
ISDS. It was a very fruitful seminar for me - a fledging social researcher
as I might venture to call myself. I was lucky to receive a lot of
unexpected encouragements and positive comments from the participants of
that closed meeting…

Apologies to those who have requested the English slides of my presentation.
I'm always willing to do so, but let me delay this release until the next
seminar which seems to be bigger than the last weekend's. Ms. Khuat Thu Hong
at ISDS suggested that there will be another "official" seminar which will
be open to a lot more people. The slides that I prepared also need refining
a bit by the way.

In the meantime, if you have time, please enjoy reading an extract of my
thesis which was roughly translated into English:
http://romibleue.wordpress.com/2007/06/08/language-of-moral-revolt/ (Please
ignore any English mistake that you encounter in the document, I was quite
in a hurry when I did the translation...)

Thanks again for your interests!

All the best,

Romi
