RESEARCH INTERESTS

I have been involved in teaching SC4101 Practising Anthropology and Sociology, a project-based, problem-solving module, over the last three years, as well as two graduate-level modules: Social Stratification and Mobility; and Social Policy. I am also the Principal Investigator for a panel study launched in 2014 on family structure, relationships, and resilience in Singapore. In the past three years, I have written on public housing, social class, social capital, and politics.
