Tsui-Sung Wu

Tsui-Sung Wu is a scholar of gender and media research. She is a professor at the Institute of Hakka Language and Communication of National United University in Taiwan. She also serves as a board member of The Awakening Foundation, a leading feminist NGO in Taiwan.

At CASBS, Wu will conduct research about online gender-based violence in the Taiwanese “manosphere.” She will collect posts containing the phrase “feminist buffet” in Taiwan’s two largest anonymous forums, Dcard and PTT. She will use quantitative content analysis to identify central themes and patterns in these samples and analyze the attitudes and narratives of online respondents. She will also select representative posts for qualitative discourse analysis to decipher the cultural logic and gender consciousness among men’s rights supporters. Additionally, she will devote her time to understanding preventive measures and educational strategies aimed at reducing digital gender violence in the United States.
