I am a feminist geographer who teaches courses in Social and Cultural Geography. My research interests include: queer and feminist theory, feminist interventions into urban life and urban planning, feminist pedagogy for geography education and LGBTQ+ advocacy research.

I am currently working on three projects. 1) Feminist Pedagogy for geographical education 2) Community politics, rights, gender and sexuality in Singapore (with LBTQ NGO, Sayoni) and 3) Role-play and deep listening in the virtual field site (with Menusha De Silva (Geog); Robin Loon (Theatre Studies) and Shobha Avadhani (Communications and New Media).
My research interests include: queer and feminist geography, feminist pedagogy in geography education and LGBTQ+ advocacy research. I am interested in how the geographies of gender, sexuality and ‘race’ are integral to our understanding of the biopolitics of family and community. I am particularly interested in how spatial concepts like distance and proximity influence how we think about ethics, care, responsibility, love and friendship, and how these in turn impact social relations in various spatial context (home, community, classroom). As a feminist geographer, I am also interested in civil society and community activism that relate to gender and sexuality politics, and the spaces of possibility they represent.
