Hi, welcome to my site!

I am Lecturer in Sociology at the School of Social Sciences, Monash University. My research with migrants in and from Asia is interested in the production and experiences of difference and inequalities, with a focus on ethnic relations, class, gender and decoloniality.

Prior to my current position, I was Alfred Deakin Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Alfred Deakin Institute for Citizenship and Globalisation (ADI). From 2018 to 2020, I was Postdoctoral Fellow at the Asia Research Institute, National University of Singapore. I completed a Doctor of Philosophy at the School of Social and Political Sciences, University of Melbourne, as a recipient of the Melbourne International Research Scholarship and Melbourne International Fee Remission Scholarship. I received a Master of Development Studies from the University of Melbourne in 2011. In 2006, I received a Bachelor of Arts, with a major in Political Science, from the National University of Singapore.
