Disaggregating the BlueSG assemblage: Examining the relational entanglements and emerging agencies of an electric car-sharing network in Singapore

Yi Fan is a DPhil student with the Transport Studies Unit at the University of Oxford's School of Geography and the Environment. Her doctoral research centres in shared electric mobility and mobility justice in Singapore. Specifically, she hopes to examine how user (im)mobilities in an electric vehicle sharing service are relationally produced through an assemblage optic, and how user agency emerges and is implicated in such assemblages.

Prior to Oxford, Yi Fan received her MSc in Environment, Politics and Society (Distinction) at University College London and BA in Environmental Studies (Hons. with Distinction) at the National University of Singapore. She also worked as a research assistant at the National University of Singapore, where she worked on aero-mobilities and airport labour in Singapore and Jakarta.
