I am currently pursuing two major lines of research. The first involves the study of race and ethnicity amongst diasporic individuals in urban environments, particularly the Singaporean Chinese community. My research is focussed not just on social behaviour, but also on the physical spaces that surround us, and how the design and use of such spaces affect our everyday lives and social interactions.
The second is innovations in visual and virtual methods. I am particularly interested in the two areas of innovation – the use of photography and/or poetry in social research and the use of online hypermedia in presenting social research data.
