Digital Humanities 187: Decolonial Data Vietnamese Historical Narratives

Make Your Own Bánh Mì game built as an interactive activity for students to learn more about Vietnamese culture during the French colonial period.

A build-your-own bánh mì game anchors this interactive project on Vietnamese food history, colonial power, and cultural memory. Drawing on colonial-era images, data visualizations, and interactive design, the project examines how French colonialism shaped Vietnamese food practices and etiquette.
