Sayd Randle is an Assistant Professor of Urban Studies at Singapore Management University and a Fellow at SMU's Urban Institute. Trained as an environmental anthropologist, her research uses the tools of ethnography and the lens of political ecology to explore processes of urban environmental change. Broadly focused on climate adaptation and mitigation efforts, she studies how attempts to rework critical infrastructural systems transform material flows and urban lives, rearranging labour and power across the extended metropolitan landscape in the process.
