My research focuses on the activities of the children’s rights NGO “Right to Play” in Southeast Asia. I am particularly interested in examining: the origins of the “Right to Play” movement; the social forces that have enabled the implementation of "Right to Play" programs in different areas; and the ways in which these programs have been responded to in practice.
