Steve Ferzacca, a Visiting Associate Professor and Acting Head of Anthropology at Yale-NUS from 2016 to 2017, discusses his new book Sonic City: Making Rock Music and Urban Life in Singapore with his two musician-informants. Asia Research Institute co-hosted the event, Making Sonic City, Rock Music, and Urban Life in Singapore, with the Yale-NUS Urban Studies Programme.

Urban Studies majors from the Class of 2021 present on their Capstone projects. Yale-NUS students undertake their Capstone projects in their final year at the college. The project allows students to independently explore a specialised topic that interests them with assistance from a supervisor. Numerous students, faculty and staff walk into the lecture theatre throughout the day to listen to the majors present their work. The topics impress and engage the audience. They also stimulate interesting conversations during the Q&A segments.

Yale-NUS Class of 2023 students interacted with Urban Studies Faculty to find out more about the major. Urban Studies faculty and students put students' projects, posters detailing the major's structure and some creative decorations on display.
