Beyond academic

Writing for a wider public

Outside academia, I write about language, politics, cities, and everyday life.

《安娣,給我一份摻摻!》

Published in 2016, this book brings together social and political observations of Singapore, grounded in academic literature and my own experience as an international student from another Mandarin-speaking society. It covers language policy, political institutions, racial politics, Chinese identities, food cultures, and urban planning.
