Weiqiang Lin

Weiqiang Lin is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Geography at the National University of Singapore, Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. His research critically examines the social and geopolitical dimensions of aerial mobility and airspace infrastructure, with a regional focus on Singapore and Southeast Asia.

His research interests lie at the intersection of geography, mobility studies, and infrastructure theory. Drawing on assemblage theory, Lin investigates how airspace is socially produced through interactions among cultural norms, legal frameworks, technologies, and global aviation institutions. He emphasizes the need to decenter Western paradigms in aeromobilities research and advocates for a more historically and geographically sensitive understanding of aviation infrastructures.

Although specific publications are not listed in the provided text, his research spans topics such as aircraft cabins, airline route networks, aerial capacities, and air territories, revealing how these formations are reassembled in context-specific ways. His work contributes to broader debates in critical geography and infrastructure studies.
