About me

I sit in the Migration and Mobilities cluster at the Asia Research Institute, National University of Singapore. Before joining ARI, I spent over five years doing policy-oriented research and advocacy on temporary migration regimes across Southeast Asia. At present, I am interested in how states use infrastructural governance to produce conditions of irregularity among children of migrants, and how irregular children carve out spaces of survival, learning, play, and work as they come of age. My Master’s dissertation at the University of Sussex has won the UK Royal Geographical Society’s PopGRG Bob Woods Postgraduate Dissertation Prize, the Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies (JEMS) Best Dissertation Prize, and the UK Development Studies Association Master’s Dissertation Award (Highly Commended).
