Menusha De Silva

Menusha De Silva is a Lecturer in Geography at the National University of Singapore, specializing in transnational migration, ageing, and feminist pedagogy. Her research examines how migration patterns shape eldercare dynamics within transnational families, with particular focus on Sri Lankan diaspora communities. She investigates the intersections of migration, gender, and citizenship across the lifecourse.

Research Focus: De Silva's work explores older migrants' negotiations of transnational citizenship, the transformation of care expectations in Asian societies, and the development of 'care pentagons' in transnational families. Her pedagogical research applies feminist frameworks to community-based learning and blended education environments.

Publications: Her scholarly output (2011-2025) demonstrates consistent focus on migration, ageing, and care through diverse formats including journal articles, book chapters, and policy-oriented publications. Recent work shows increasing engagement with pedagogical theory and educational geographies.
