Exhibition de(Tour) with Professor Chua Beng Huat (Singapore), Head of Studies, Urban Studies, Yale-NUS College

Deconstructing 20th-century Asian history from a cultural studies perspective, Professor Chua will trace parallels to the histories addressed by the works in the exhibition. Expanding on political themes such as communism in Malaya and Thai insurgence, different elements occurring in the exhibition will be further contextualised and interpreted.

Professor Chua Beng Huat (Singapore) received his PhD from York University, Canada. He has previously served as Provost Chair Professor, Faculty of Arts and Social Science (2009–2017), Research Leader, Cultural Studies in Asia Research Cluster, Asia Research Institute (2000–2015); Convenor Cultural Studies Programmes (2008–2013) and Head, the Department of Sociology (2009–2015), National University of Singapore.
