She is a conservation scientist who studies the human-habitat interactions of the artisanal fishermen and seagrass ecosystems of the western Tebrau Strait. Her practice in this community where she has been immersed for the last 18 yrs is to use citizen science, community empowerment and environmental education to help the fishing community find ways to improve social justice and local livelihoods, as well as survive irreversible change and habitat loss.
She teaches environmental politics, anything about the sea around Singapore and in Southeast Asia, religion’s intersection with society and politics, and magic in Southeast Asia.
