Exeter student delivers keynote speech at the British Academy

Matthew Tye (2009, Sociology) delivered the keynote speech at a recent British Academy conference which focussed on contemporary challenges in transitional Vietnam.

The event, hosted by the UK’s national academy for the humanities and social sciences, brought together academics from across the social sciences to consider the social, economic and political challenges facing Vietnam, and provided an opportunity to support and publicise the research being conducted in the United Kingdom on one of Southeast Asia’s fastest-growing economies.

Mr Tye’s speech was entitled Population Ageing in Vietnam – An Irreversible Truth? The speech was filmed and will be available to view on the British Academy’s website shortly.
