The Modern Crone: Season 6: Random Cool People I Know with Stephanie Chok PhD
Random Cool People I Know with, Stephanie Chok, PhD
Join us as Stephanie shares her journey into advocating for the vulnerable, how her PhD field work in the construction industry in Singapore propelled her from her volunteer work, into systemic change in law and politics and pursuing social justice. We talked about volunteering and altruism in the home, the importance of purpose and hope, the caring human nature and how she sees the difference between religion and spirituality. Stephanie talks us through the functions of HOME from shelters, to legal aid, medical aid, connection and training. I’m so grateful to have a deeper understanding of some of the issues our migrant workers deal with and to share Stephanie's inspiring story.
Stephanie Chok has more than 10 years of research experience working and volunteering in various non-governmental organisations in Singapore, with a focus on migrant workers' rights and income inequality.
She is interested in criminal justice reform, income inequality and social protection for marginalised communities and is the Executive Director, Humanitarian Organisation for Migration Economics (HOME).
