PEDAGOGICAL GRANTS

I received close to US$50,000 in pedagogy grants to improve teaching across campus.

TEG/LC GRANT

2024-2025

This Teaching Enhancement Grant (TEG) supports a Learning Community (LC) that a colleague from the Department of Pharmacy and I coordinate. We run monthly meetings on topics relevant to interdisciplinary teaching. We will use the funds to hire a student to help us compile data for research on interdiscplinary teaching across campus, and to fly in a guest speaker to discuss efforts elsewhere. We received SG$6,000 (US4,458)

BLENDED LEARNING GRANT

2023-2024

The university is aiming to increase the number of permanently hybrid courses to 30% across campus. I was asked to serve as hybrid learning ambassador for my department and was awarded a grant of SG$55,544 (US$$41,165) to work with an external vendor to convert an existing introduction to sociology course to be permanently hybrid.

TEACHING AWARDS

Despite teaching large, compulsory courses, my teaching scores are consistently well above the faculty average. I won the Faculty Teaching Excellence Award three times.

FTEA

2019, 2020, 2021

The Faculty Teaching Excellence Award (FTEA) is awarded to faculty members who have displayed a high level of commitment to their teaching. Each year, a select few colleagues are recognised for their teaching based on peer reviews, student feedback and exposition of their teaching philosophy.

BEST IN SHOW

2015

At the LSE Annual Film Festival, I helped to produce a film on my research in Mindanao that won "Best in Show." The film was produced and edited by two undergraduate students and a colleague. One of the students who worked on the film was my honors thesis supervisee. He won the prestigious Outstanding NUS Undergraduate Research Prize that year.
