Research Interest: Criminology, desistance, criminalised women, qualitative methods<\/em><\/p>\n

I am a Master’s student in Sociology at the Department of Sociology and Anthropology, National University of Singapore (NUS). I graduated from NUS with a Bachelor of Social Science (Honours with Highest Distinction) in Sociology and a Minor in Public Health. Prior to my graduate studies, I worked as a research assistant on a project examining religion and reintegration among former residents of faith-based halfway homes.<\/p>\nThesis \/ Research topic:<\/strong>
\nMy thesis explores the lived experiences of formerly incarcerated women in Singapore, focusing on how they navigate the process of desisting from crime and rebuilding their lives after release. I draw on Nugent and Schinkel’s framework of act, identity, and relational desistance to examine how gender compounds many of the challenges women encounter in their desistance journeys. Using qualitative, life-course narrative methods, I seek to capture the dynamic and non-linear nature of desistance while examining the broader structural contexts in which offending and change take place. \n
