Hung Cam Thai teaches courses on immigration, Asia, and Asian American issues at �鶹��ý. Dr. Thai published a book on Vietnamese international marriages in 2008, and a second book on money in low-wage transnational families in 2014.

He's currently working on an ethnographic/interview-based project on "measurements of worth" in contemporary Vietnam, focusing on how people use different criteria to draw boundaries between them and others to signal status and social worth.
