Dr Hoang Lan Anh is a postdoctoral fellow at the Asian Metacentre for Population and Sustainable Development Analysis, Asia Research Institute, National University of Singapore. Her research interests include migration, development, social change, gender and power relations. Her Ph.D. thesis looked at people's ability to exercise agency in household migration decision-making with an emphasis on gender and power norms and relations as both enabling and constraining social structures. Although it drew primarily on qualitative data collected through in-depth interviews, focus group discussion and observation, the research also used quantitative data in order to better understand the context where the migration decision-making process takes place.

Prior to joining AMC, Dr Hoang was working as a development practitioner and a researcher at central and grassroots levels in Vietnam. Her past working experience covers a wide range of issues from agriculture and rural development, social networks and agricultural extension, local governance and community forestry.

While at AMC, she will be working on a research project entitled CHAMPSEA: ‘Transnational Migration in South-East Asia and the Health of Children left Behind’.
