Rachel Sim

Hi, I'm Rachel! Current Research Assistant with the National University of Singapore, attached to the Social Science Research Thematic Grant, "Foundations for Home-Based Work: A Singapore Study". Recent graduate of Master of Architecture (National University of Singapore) and MPhil Architecture in Urban Studies (University of Cambridge). I share an equal passion for research on urban studies and visual and communications studies. My dissertation investigated the dialectics of spontaneity and organization in social movements, using the case studies of the January 25 Revolution in Cairo, the 15-M/Indignados Movement in Madrid, and the Occupy Wall Street movement in New York City; positioned at the intersection of urban theory, media and communications theory, and new social movement theory. Do contact me if anything here piques your interest!
