Welcome to the Charles Darwin Centre for Human Studies
The Charles Darwin Centre of Human Studies (CDCHS) is a UK-registered non-profit based in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. We are dedicated to expanding the reach of psychological research by supporting students, researchers, and communities to engage in research that is inclusive, collaborative, and globally connected.
We are motivated to:
-
Shift the centre of gravity in global research — to elevate voices, questions, and knowledge that have been historically underrepresented
-
Train local students and academics to strengthen research infrastructure in Vietnam
-
Ensure that psychological research is credible, inclusive, relevant, and accessible to people in diverse cultural and regional contexts
