My name is Phạm Minh Đức. I go by both Duc and Minh Duc, and use he/him pronouns. I was born and raised in Saigon, Vietnam. I received a B.A. in Psychology from Hamilton College (2021) and a M.S. in Social Psychology from UConn (2023). I am primarily working with Drs. Kim Chaney and Alexandra Garr-Schultz, and scheduled in defend my Ph.D. dissertation at UConn in Spring 2025.

I am a social psychologist who studies activism and intraminority solidarity through a critical lens. In my research, I practice diverse mixed methods, prioritize marginalized perspectives, and seek to advance equity and liberation of all peoples. I also organize with multiple anti-racist, decolonial collectives on various fronts, in and outside of academia.

As you engage with my work, I would like to acknowledge my research is significantly shaped by my experiences as a Vietnamese, cisgender gay man, racialized as Asian, noncitizen nonimmigrant in the U.S. who organizes and struggles with the people on the ground. My deepest gratitude goes to the people on the ground, Black, Brown, and Indigenous peoples around the world, past and present, my ancestors, and those who look like me and come before me, for enriching my physical, intellectual, and spiritual journey.
