Tan, Gordon is a geographer by training, interested in studying the impact of technological changes on urban financial centers, as well as how technology shapes the nature of financial work in terms of human capital (skills) requirements. He is also keen to explore the influence of financial technology (FinTech) platforms on the increased financialization of society. Gordon's upcoming project will investigate the use of financial technology (fintech) among millennials and Gen-Z financial consumers and how such usage has influenced their financial habits. He is also exploring the role of the emerging cryptocurrency/decentralized finance (DeFi) landscape in reproducing economic inequalities and in the further financialization of human subjects.
