Bio
I teach modules on contemporary Japanese society and culture, as well as faculty modules relating to service learning, intergenerational relations and programs. I have supervised Capstone modules on community engagements and co-taught a senior seminar titled "Asian Identities" as a fellow at the College of Alice and Peter Tan, University Town, NUS. As an anthropologist, I focus on anthropological perspectives and approaches in my courses.
I have particular research interests on Japan-Singapore socio-cultural issues, intergenerational relations and programming, aging, family, migration, gender with a focus on Japan and Singapore, as well as Asia in general. In the past twenty years, I have done fieldwork in Okinawa, Tokyo, Kobe, Western Australia, Chiangmai, Bangkok, Bali, Cebu, Guangzhou, Shanghai and Singapore. I am passionate on research relating to aging and intergenerational studies. My research on aging covers a wide array of topics, including caregiving, active aging, volunteering among seniors, resilience among living alone seniors, lifelong learning, grandparent-grandchildren relationships, later life migration, environmental gerontology, aging-in-place.
My interest in intergenerational studies began in Japan (see Thang, LL. Generations in Touch: Linking the old and young in a Tokyo Neighborhood, Ithaca: Cornell University Press, 2001) (The book is included as one of the 100 Books to understand contemporary Japan (Nippon Foundation, 2021)). Since then, I have been active in promoting intergenerational approaches both as a scholarship and for practical applications in society. I am co- editor in chief of the Journal of Intergenerational Relationships (Taylor and Francis), and was one of the key organizing members in the 4th ICIP (International consortium for intergenerational programs) International conference on 'Linking Generations: Family, Work, Community-Intergenerational Solidarity for a Sustainable Society'. (April 26-29, 2010, Singapore). I also provide consultations on intergenerational approaches in the community. My latest book publication in this area is based on the concept of Intergenreational Contact Zone I first coined in 2015 (see Thang, 2015). This is a co-edited volume with Mathew Kaplan, Mariano Sanchez and Jaco Hoffman titled "Intergenerational Contact Zones: Place-based strategies for promoting social inclusion and belonging" (Routledge 2020).
