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.
