Evan was also involved in creating the 2021 National Day theme song, The Road Ahead.\n\u00a0\nDuring the session, Benjamin and Evan shared their creative journeys, reflected on how everyday Singaporean experiences inspire their work, and discussed the role of arts and culture in shaping Singaporean identity and belonging. The conversation also explored the opportunities and challenges of pursuing creative careers in Singapore, including negotiating the boundaries of creative expression and artistic freedom, as well as public expectations.\nStudents had the opportunity to engage directly with both guests, and asked questions ranging from advice on pursuing their own creative interests and careers to more challenging issues surrounding artistic autonomy and navigating relationships with government institutions. The session offered students valuable firsthand perspectives from creative practitioners and brought to life the sociological themes explored in the course, particularly how arts and culture can both reinforce and challenge prevailing ideas about Singapore society.\n\u00a0\nWe extend our heartfelt thanks to Benjamin and Evan for generously sharing their time, experiences and insights with our students.\n\tGESS1020: A Special Dialogue on Arts and Culture in Singapore with Benjamin Kheng and Evan Low\n<figure itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fass.nus.edu.sg\/socanth\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2026\/09\/johancongrats.png\" alt=\"johancongrats\" height=\"236\" width=\"400\" title=\"johancongrats\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\n\t<\/figure>\n\ud83d\udc4f Celebrating teaching excellence: Congratulations to Dr Suen Johan on receiving the Faculty Teaching Excellence Award (FTEA) for AY2025\/26!\n\tCongratulations to Dr Suen Johan for winning the Faculty Teaching Excellence Award (FTEA)!\n<figure itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/scale.nus.edu.sg\/programmes\/graduate\/msc-(social-analytics-and-ai)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" itemprop=\"url\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fass.nus.edu.sg\/socanth\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2026\/09\/mscsaai.png\" alt=\"mscsaai\" height=\"236\" width=\"400\" title=\"mscsaai\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/figure>\nWe are pleased to announce the launch of the new Master of Science in Social Analytics and AI, a multidisciplinary graduate degree programme that taps on the deep expertise of three NUS academic units in areas pertinent to social sciences, artificial intelligence, computational methods, research methodologies and data-driven communication.
