Dr Sujith Kumar

Sujith is a sociologist, educator and evaluator with a research focus on health equity and justice. His teaching and research interests concern entanglements of social difference (particularly racial, sexual, national and religious), inequality, citizenship, multiculturalism and social experiences of health and illness, using science and technology studies (STS) approaches. At the Kirby Institute, he works on the ACTUP-PNG project, where, in collaboration with local and international partners, he explores the acceptability and use of point-of-care HIV viral load and drug resistance testing, and early infant diagnosis, in Papua New Guinea. He is also co-leading a research collaboration on the impact of the repeal of section 377A in the Singaporean context, specifically among gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM) living with HIV and their healthcare providers.

Sujith is Assistant Editor of Culture, Health and Sexuality, an Associate at the Australian Human Rights Institute and an Associate Fellow with Advance HE.
