Almost every week, members of Tembusu College are invited to meet and chat with guests – both local and international – through a variety of hosted events. There is a huge diversity of backgrounds amongst our visitors, who range from politicians to diplomats, artists, writers, poets, and academics. Select an event category on the left to find out more.
As a Residential College, residents of Tembusu College live and learn together with their peers under the same roof. Integral to the learning is the University Town College Programme (UTCP) where residents read five Seminar-style Modules over their two year residency. Find out more About the Programme or browse available modules on the left.

Dr. Anup Sam Ninan is a Fellow at the Institute for Advanced Studies on Science, Technology and Society (Austria). He works on an anthropology of climate change, especially of carbon markets. This work allows him to observe the multi-sited and networked practices that shape and create a global carbon economy. He traces the emergence of “carbon” at the intersection of emission reduction projects, energy and food. Dr Ninan for many years has been working across continents, studying at New Delhi’s Jawaharlal Nehru University (India), and completing his Phd at the University of Bremen (Germany). But he has been active outside academia, too: he has promoted a pharma biotech; had tryst with alternative media and films; been a dot com junkie; been in the fringes of political activism; functioned as a (successful) election campaign manager; written copies for advertisements; and been with (oxymoronic) corporate social research. Currently, in addition to academic writing, he is working on a photography project and a novel.
