Andrew HARDY Haslemere, United Kingdom, 1966 Member since 2002 After his studies at the University of Cambridge (1987), Andrew Hardy taught in Hong Kong, where he developed an interest in the history of Southeast Asia. After a trip to Vietnam, he decided to take up Vietnamese studies. He enrolled on an MA in history at the University of Paris VII, and set to learning Vietnamese. He started out specialising on the history of colonialism in the Indochina peninsula, and notably on French socio-economic planning in Indochina. During a research visit to Vietnam, he realised the importance of demographic change in the country's history, especially through the migrations which, from North to South and more recently from the plains to the hills, contributed to the spatial shaping of the nation. In 1994, he enrolled at the Australian National University where he defended a PhD thesis on the settlement history of the highlands (1999). Vietnam's open door policy allowed him to develop an original methodology in the Vietnamese context, associating the abundant documentation available in the National Archives with the results of fieldwork. The comparison of written and oral sources was complemented by a dual perspective in his work, in which empirical experiences of local populations were assessed alongside the state's successive policy orientations. His employment at the National University of Singapore (1999-2002) led him to complement the study of internal migration with flows heading beyond Vietnam's borders. Since his recruitment as member of the EFEO (2002), at which time he became head of the Hanoi centre, he has pursued his work on the dynamics of migration, enlarging the field of his research to look at the social and political transformations of past centuries, in order to build bridges between the ancient and contemporary periods, and between Vietnam and neighbouring countries in Southeast Asia. |
