With approximately 6,500 members worldwide, representing all the regions and countries of Asia and all academic disciplines, the AAS is the largest organization of its kind.

Mr. Luong Van Hy was born in Hanoi and is a former student of Petrus Ky School (now Le Hong Phong High School, Ho Chi Minh City).

In 1971, he was awarded a scholarship to study in the US. He earned his doctorate at Harvard University (USA) in 1981, after completing his bachelor's degree program at the University of California at Berkeley (USA) in 1974.

Since the 1990s, he has taught at the anthropology department of the University of Toronto, Canada and has been the head of this department.

For nearly 20 years, he has made significant contributions to the formation of anthropology departments of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities (Hanoi National University) and the University of Social Sciences and Humanities (Ho Chi Minh City National University).

Prof. Dr. Luong Van Hy is an honorary professor of Ho Chi Minh National University.
