Join the ANTH/GLOS Club for our final meeting of the semester! We'll be having a discussion on methodology and the different uses of anthropology post-undergrad. The discussion will be led by first-year Ph.D. student Toh Sook-Lin, who will discuss her work and research, and how it has developed from her undergraduate studies up until now.
For this talk, Toh will be sharing how her undergraduate training and thesis in anthropology helped her in her future research and grassroots activist work. Toh's thesis was on 'the prosperity gospel' in evangelical megachurches in Singapore, and her first 'real job' was in a local sex workers' rights group – so drastically different and polarising demographics. In working with two groups that have been stigmatised in such different and unequal forms and ways, her undergraduate training in developing an ethnographic nuance and sensitivity became crucial. The common thread in Toh's two projects is how identity and everyday performance was intrinsically shaped by stigmas and their personal and collective responses to it.
