Researcher - Por Hong Heong 傅向红
Research Fellow, Malaysian Chinese Research Center
I received my PhD from the School of Social Sciences, Universiti Sains Malaysia, in 2014. My PhD dissertation has a focus on the cultural politics of public health and medicine in post-WW2 Peninsular Malaysia. Over the past few years, my research interests lie at the convergence of postcolonial, cultural and social inquiries of medicine, health, illnesses and bodies. My works are characterized by multidisciplinarity as I use a wide range of methods and conceptual tools to approach my research subjects. Recently, I have also built up interest in studying death management at the intersection of migration and urbanization.
我2014年毕业于槟城理科大学社会科学院，博士论文为二战后西马共卫生和医疗的文化政治。过去几年，我的研究旨趣是以后殖民、文化和社会研究的方法探讨医药、健康、疾病和身体。我的著作都是以跨学科方法完成。因缘际会，近来我的研究也开始涉略迁移、都市化和死亡管理的交汇。
