RESEARCH INTEREST

  • My research interests revolve around issues of diaspora, race/ethnicity, nationalism, national identity, and multiculturalism within the ideological boundaries, cultural politics, and hegemonic discourses of the nation-state. I am particularly interested in examining the narratives and discourses of minority ethnic communities in Malaysia and have also worked on research projects that have extended these concerns to other national contexts such as the UK, Canada and the US.
