Research Interest: Body & senses; Sports; Gender & Sexuality; Medical Anthropology; Ethnography

Nicole recently graduated with a Bachelors in Social Sciences from the Department of Cultural Anthropology at Yonsei University. Her personal involvement in competitive sport led to her interest in looking into the lifestyle of Singaporean student-athletes and bodily autonomy of females in performative sports.

Research:

My research intends to look into themes of embodiment across the lived experiences and journey of the elite athlete's body, being in a performative sport at a national level. I intend to do this through engaging in ethnography and incorporating aspects of athletes' senses in articulating the intentional and selective process of shaping the body in conscious, and the shaping of the body in unconscious ways.
