I believe that education should be essentially progressive – this means that it is my role to prepare students to participate actively and critically in the real world, and as such, my classroom should offer opportunities for them to engage in transformative learning.
I teach courses relating to new media and society, digital humanities, and developmental communication. Previously, I was a Senior Research Fellow at the Institute of Policy Studies, Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, and an Assistant Professor at the Wee Kim Wee School of Communication and Information, Nanyang Technological University (NTU). I have received various teaching accolades at Monash University, Nanyang Technological University and the National University of Singapore.
