Norazim Azami is a Masters candidate at the Department of Sociology and Anthropology. Prior to joining the program, he has obtained a Bachelor of Social Sciences (Highest Distinction) from the same department in 2022. During his time at NUS, he is also a scholar of Lembaga Biasiswa Kenangan Maulud (LBKM).

For his honours dissertation, Norazim adopted an ethnographic approach in studying food insecurity in Singapore which uncovered the different factors that lead to variations in both the availability of and accessibility to food resources among less privileged residents living in public rental flats. It also interrogated how and whether the different dimensions of social capital, comprising the structural and cognitive, wield any influence on residents’ access to food.
