Dr Emily Yue
WORK-RELATED SUICIDE AND SOCIAL JUSTICE RESEARCHER
Dr Emily Yue (she/her) is Work-Related Suicide and Social Justice Researcher at Healing Justice Ldn. Emily researches suicide from social justice perspectives. She is interested in how we understand ‘evidence’ about suicide, in particular around race. Her PhD research explored the ways UK suicide reporting and prevention focuses on white men and distracts from state violence, gatekeeping how we see cause and effect, and agency, in our knowledge about suicide. She previously worked at the University of Edinburgh, where she explored how male suicide prevention reproduces ableism through focusing on productivity and paid work. Emily is guided by disability justice and abolition, paying attention to and creating space for rest in responses to suicide and approaches to suicide recovery.
