Welcome to the Scholar Chronicles. I am Dr Loh KS, a historian of Singapore, and I ask fellow scholars to share interesting stories from the field. These stories relate events that had a bearing on our research β finding a document, an illuminating interview, a chance encounter. They shed light on important questions in research:
β’ What motivates scholars?
β’ What are their struggles and successes in the field?
β’ What can scholars do in their social role?
We hope to encourage conversations and perhaps some action on the relationship between scholarship and society, so that research can have a greater impact on peopleβs lives.
The Scholar Chronicles Podcast is for academics, independent researchers, research analysts and consultants, aspiring students, and anyone interested in the dynamics of knowledge production.
