Jérémie MOLHO
Dr Jeremie Molho is a Marie Curie Global Fellow at the Asia Research Institute, National University of Singapore, Singapore. He is jointly affiliated with the European University Institute in Florence, Italy. Dr Molho’s project ‘HubCities’ was awarded a three years (2019-2021) funding as part of the European Union Horizon 2020 Marie Curie Actions. It aims to analyse how cities use of universities and cultural institutions as instruments in the governance of cultural diversity, to target and attract transnational publics, construct discursive frameworks that promote diversity and create third spaces where people of different cultural backgrounds come together and interact. It will use video as a methodological tool, to investigate the new spaces for culture and higher education planned in Doha and Singapore, and to contribute to the reflection on the role of such educational and cultural infrastructures in constructing civic spaces and stimulating interactions across diverse communities.
Dr Molho received a BA in Middle Eastern studies and a MA in urban studies from Sciences Po Paris and completed his PhD in geography in 2016 at the University of Angers, France. In his doctoral research, Jeremie analysed how cities outside of the West developed strategies to position themselves as global art market centres. He focused mainly on Istanbul, and conducted comparative fieldwork in Singapore and Hong Kong. In the last two years, he has been studying Singapore and Doha’s use of cultural policies to govern their diversity.
