ENFJ — The Protagonist

Calm, curious, and community-minded. Ryan believes sociology begins in everyday life—how we greet a stranger, care for a pet, or share a song. He listens with intent and helps people notice the quiet connections that hold us together.

Shared moments with Ryan

On weekend mornings, Ryan takes his golden retriever to the park, using the walk as a living “field study.” He chats with retirees practicing tai chi, teens playing frisbee, and parents juggling strollers—observing how public space builds trust. The dog breaks the ice; people open up. Later, Ryan turns these small encounters into classroom prompts about social bonds, caregiving, and why kindness spreads through a community like sunlight through trees.

Ryan after hours

Music is Ryan’s second language. In the evenings, he unwinds with his guitar, collecting folk tunes from different cultures in Singapore. He often arranges short riffs to start seminars—asking students what memories a melody evokes and how sound can shape identity. For him, music is a bridge: it softens debate, invites shy voices to speak, and reminds everyone that behind every statistic is a heartbeat and a story.

Books that shaped Ryan

Ryan’s favorite hours are the quiet ones with a book and a pencil. He annotate-maps the margins—linking classic social theory to modern questions about digital life, migration, and belonging. When a passage moves him, he turns it into a reflective exercise: “Who is included? Who is overlooked? What would compassion change?” His students say these reading circles feel less like lectures and more like conversations where ideas—and people—are seen.
