Senior Assistant Professor and Deputy Director of the Institute of Asian Studies Koh Sin Yee has recently published an open access article on “Lifestyle migrants’ urban citizenship and right to have rights” in Cities.

The article uses the case of the Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) programme during a time of crisis to highlight the scalar tensions in normative understandings of lifestyle migrants’ urban citizenship. In doing so, it challenges empowering and emancipatory accounts of (migrant) urban citizenship.
