I am a lecturer in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, at the University of Brunei. I teach philosophy, critical and creative thinking and social theory. I wrote my PhD dissertation on Habermas and the possibility of transcendence from within. My Habermas thesis was examined by Professor Hauke Brunkhorst, Professor Maeve Cooke, and Professor Simon Lumsden. My MPhil thesis was on Foucault and the possibility of system wide resistance to Capitalism. Beside Foucault and Habermas, I am interested in the work of Robert Brandom and John McDowell.
