Research
Research Interests
  • My research focuses on the spatial manifestation of inequality and non-governmental means of welfare delivery in East-Asian city-regions. More specifically, I am interested in the spatial politics and welfare practices of inner-city service hubs amidst the various processes of urban restructuring. For this I focus on voluntary care services for the homeless in Hong Kong and foreign workers in Singapore. Recently I am also exploring the impact of overseas remittances in the urbanization process of rural Bangladesh (Sylhet).
