What are the experiences of Singaporean academics who have spent time abroad, before returning home and working to reintegrate, both as academics, and as Singapore citizens. Together with her collaborators, in the article – “International academic or citizen scholar?: Singaporean returnees in the global city” (paywalled) – lead author Yasmin Ortiga focused on this notion of reintegration as well as the conflicting demands associated with it. Like many others, I enjoyed reading the article, and the conversation I had with her, as you’ll hear, was a delight.

Dr. Ortiga is an assistant professor at Singapore Management University.
