Welcome! :)

I hope you are having a good day. My name is Minh Cao. My birthday is April 19. My pronouns are she/they.

​

I am currently a Lecturer in Organization and Management at RMIT Vietnam (Saigon South campus). I received my Ph.D. degree in Organization and Management from the Paul Merage School of Business, University of California, Irvine. Prior to the Ph.D. program, I earned a bachelor’s degree in International Business from the State University of New York and worked part-time as a research assistant in the field of Anthropology. I also earned an MPhil degree in International Development from the University of Cambridge with a scholarship from the Cambridge Trust. 

​

My research interests include sociomateriality, relational mechanisms among organizational actors, emotional labor, social reproduction, politics, and what it means to be human in the age of Artificial Intelligence. To explore these topics, ​I am passionate about using ethnographic methods in my research. Ethnography suits my type of intellectual curiosity and the type of questions that I tend to ask about people and organizations. I am planning on starting a new ethnographic project in the near future, and I am actively searching for institutions and universities that can support me with this ethnographic project.

​

In my free time, I read about culture, science, politics, and philosophy. For a change of scenery, I visit pretty little coffee shops and try out various types of cakes while observing people. I also enjoy all genres of movies and drama series. My love for drama can be seen in all of my research projects; please click the "Research Projects" tab for more details.
