Dr. Kinh T. Vu is an assistant professor of music at Boston University where he teaches music education and performance courses in general music methods, instrumental music, history, and philosophy. Focusing his teaching, learning, and research model on global citizenship and intercultural literacy, Kính’s pedagogy is community-based with partnerships emerging in Boston and around the globe. Current research centers on exploring connections between music education and involuntary or forced human displacement in Cambodia and Kinh’s homeland Viet Nam where he was abandoned at the end of the American War. Forthcoming scholarship and teaching will center on Asian, Asian American, and Pacific Islander experiences of the arts. Professor Vũ’s co-edited book (with André de Quadros), My Body was Left on the Street: Music Education and Displacement, was published by Brill–Sense in 2020. Kính serves as a Faculty-In-Residence at Boston University’s Kilachand Hall.
