Victoria Pham (she/her)

Victoria Thuylinh Pham (she/her) is a PhD Candidate in history at Northwestern University and a dedicated community organizer both on campus and with the refugee/immigrant population in Uptown, Illinois. Continuously seeking ways to engage with students and the public humanities at large, Pham remains committed to implementing programs and facilitating dialogues about contemporary issues that affect our communities, encouraging critical reflection and examination upon structural inequity, globalism, and migration.

​

Her dissertation, "Disrupting Notions of Refugeehood," employs an interdisciplinary lens in examining the precarity of the Vietnamese refugee figure and the nuances of its configuration geopolitically.
