\nFor her master’s thesis, Samantha will adopt an ethnographic approach to study the phenomenon of stray\/community cat feeding in Singapore. Broadly, she is interested in multispecies coexistence in urban settings, including how spaces are co-constructed and how discourses around animals’ embodied presence are managed and contested. While at IPS, Samantha undertook research relating to a range of topics, including race and religion, immigrant integration, disability services provision, and youth financial attitudes and behaviours, among others.\n\t
