Assoc Professor Anne Raffin is a faculty member in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at the National University of Singapore (NUS), specializing in historical sociology with expertise in colonial and postcolonial studies across Southeast Asia and French India. Her academic position reflects deep engagement with empire legacies and state-society dynamics.
Her educational background includes:
- Doctor of Philosophy in Humanities & Social Sciences from the New School for Social Research, United States (2000)
Professor Raffin's research centers on modern colonialism's enduring impacts, state-society relations, and heritage policy complexities. She examines historical sociology through French colonial frameworks in Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, and Pondicherry, with recent work analyzing how colonial memories shape contemporary migration patterns among French retirees. Her teaching portfolio spans foundational sociology courses including Methods of Social Research, Sociology of Power, and Cultural Heritage: The Politics of Protecting the Past, reflecting her interdisciplinary approach to power structures and identity formation.
Analysis of her 2014-2024 publications reveals consistent focus on colonial legacies in Southeast Asia, particularly Vietnam's Nha Trang and Cambodia's Sihanoukville, alongside French India's Pondicherry. Key thematic threads include citizenship evolution under colonial liberalism, international retirement migration as postcolonial phenomenon, and heritage preservation's political dimensions. Methodologically, she integrates archival research with contemporary fieldwork, often using interview-based approaches to bridge historical contexts with present-day social realities.
