About

Dr Emily Soh is a Research Fellow at the Department of Architecture at the National University of Singapore. She received her PhD (D.Phil in Urban Planning) from the Technion–Israel Institute of Technology. She has worked on cross-cutting issues including ageing and the city, transport, and food systems. Emily’s foray into food studies began when she was a postdoctoral fellow at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem where she embarked on her research on food system transitions and their normative and value-based facets. Emily’s current research focuses on emerging discourses and practices in Singapore’s food system including citizen-led food initiatives, urban food commons, food rescue, and reimagining pathways to food security. She is also developing another strand of research on the critical analysis of technology-driven agrifood system transitions of small open economies.
