Pham Thuy Dung (2001) obtained her Bachelor’s degree in History at Erasmus University Rotterdam, where she focused on international relations and epidemic history. She wrote her undergraduate thesis on American cinematic representations of epidemics and race pre- and post-World War II, which was published in 2023. She obtained her Master’s degree in Global History at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. Her MA thesis examined how the North Vietnamese government during the Vietnam War represented and regulated love and sex in its military forces, comparing this to how Vietnamese soldiers themselves recounted their experiences in war diaries.
She is currently working for the GLOBALISE project, where she helps to curate datasets on early modern Asian places, ethnicities, castes and religious groups featuring in the Dutch East India Company (VOC) archives.
