In a nation celebrated for its success, why do so many of us feel a persistent sense of 'unease'? Join us as we dive deep with Professor Teo You Yenn, the acclaimed sociologist and author who changed Singapore's conversation on inequality.
Eight years after her groundbreaking bestseller ‘This Is What Inequality Looks Like,’ Professor Teo returns with a new, even more profound exploration: 'Unease.' This isn't just about poverty; it's about the subtle, pervasive anxieties that touch every segment of society, from the low-income to the affluent. Professor Teo reveals how our collective experiences are shaped by systemic forces, and why understanding these dynamics is crucial for our well-being.
Discover:
- What is this collective anxiety, and why is it so prevalent in Singapore?
- Why traditional measures of success don't capture the full picture of our emotional and social realities.
- How Professor Teo's research shifted from focusing on specific groups to understanding how inequality impacts everyone.
- Why bringing academic insights to the masses is more important than ever.
- If you've ever felt a nagging sense of 'never enough,' this conversation will provide clarity and context.
Professor Teo You Yenn is an Associate Professor at Nanyang Technological University and Director for the Centre for the Study of Social Inequality. Her work challenges us to look beyond the surface and confront the uncomfortable truths about our society.
Don't miss this essential conversation that will change how you see yourself and Singapore.
