Faculty of Social Science and Humanities research identity by promoting basic
research in sociology, anthropology, history and culture in the context of
Vietnam and Asian countries. We hope to influence the conduct of Faculty
research in a responsible and collective way, promoting the collaboration among
those who are the members of the Faculty and those who are the subjects of
research. We aim to promote research that ensure those who are subjects of the
research will be the researchers and together the researchers have the main say
in the formulation of research tools and what happens to knowledge created by
and about them. The labour of knowledge creation will belong to the labourers
and we believe that collaboration and skill\- sharing is paramount in scientific
research. Knowledge is shared by those who produce and control it. We also
strictly adhere to the ethical rules in scientific research in general and TDTU
policy for Academic Integrity in particular. ## Quick links
