Dr Tan Qian Hui ARI commenced her appointment as Postdoctoral Fellow in the Asian Migration Cluster, with effect from 15 August 2022.

Dr Tan obtained her PhD in Geography from NUS and her dissertation examined how the spatio-temporalities of single individuals in Singapore could be queered or problematised. Her research interests in intimate relationalities, embodiment and more recently, sustainability politics are often informed by critical feminist as well as queer theoretical perspectives. As a socio-cultural geographer by training, her work has been published in Gender, Place & Culture, and Social & Cultural Geography. At ARI she will extend her investigations on intimate geographies and work in an interdisciplinary project on plastic waste management within households across Singapore and Australia.
