An interdisciplinary scholar of feminist and queer STS, Suisui’s work situates health, technology, and data in nexuses of activism and governance and as sites of community-based analysis, participation, and action. Their current book project, Just Listen: Hotline Activisms and Technopolitics of Crisis Listening, examines crisis hotline activisms by youth, women, LGBTQ people, and suicide preventionists as media genealogies of listening across differences of age, gender, sexuality, and disability. Undoing the ideological doctrine of active listening, Just Listen develops conceptual tools that attune to listening’s institutional, affective, epistemic, and performative dimensions.
